Examples in Context

  1. Calculation of positron lifetime of single crystals of elements of the periodic table with the theory of local density approximation
  2. In the DFT plane-wave calculations, we use the local density approximation ( LDA ).
  3. The local density approximation ( LDA ) exchange-correlation potential has been used in the calculation.
  4. The microscopic optical potential of finite nuclei is obtained with the local density approximation.
  5. Since exact exchange-correlation functional is unknown, a local density approximation ( LDA ) is often adopted in DFT.
