Classical dynamical density functional theory: from fundamentals to applications

M te Vrugt, H Löwen, R Wittkowski - Advances in Physics, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

Classical density functional theory, unconstrained crystallization, and polymorphic behavior

JF Lutsko, J Lam - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
While in principle, classical density functional theory (cDFT) should be a powerful tool for the
study of crystallization, in practice this has not so far been the case. Progress has been …
