DFT can have at least four meanings:

  • In mathematics, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), sometimes called the finite Fourier transform, is a Fourier transform widely employed in signal processing and related fields to analyze the frequencies contained in a sampled signal, solve partial differential equations, and to perform other operations such as convolutions. The DFTs practical... Discrete Fourier transform
  • Density functional theory (DFT) is one of the most popular approaches to quantum mechanical many-body electronic structure calculations of molecular and condensed matter systems. Description of the Theory Traditional methods in electronic structure, like Hartree-Fock theory are based on the complicated many-electron wavefunction. The main objective of... Density Functional Theory
  • Design For Test
  • The The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a country in western Europe, and a member of the European Union. Usually known simply as the United Kingdom, UK or, inaccurately, as Great Britain or Britain, the UK has four constituent parts. Three of these parts England, Wales and... UK's In the United Kingdom, the Department for Transport is the government department responsible for the transport network. The department is run by the Secretary of State for Transport, currently Alistair Darling. The department for transport has been reorganised a number of times in its history, particularly under the current government... Department for Transport

Density functional theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1611 words)
Within the framework of Kohn-Sham DFT, the intractable many-body problem of interacting electrons in a static external potential is reduced to a tractable problem of non-interacting electrons moving in an effective potential.
Despite the improvements in DFT, there are still difficulties in using density functional theory to properly describe intermolecular interactions, especially van der Waals forces (dispersion), or in calculations of the band gap in semiconductors.
The major problem with DFT is that the exact functionals for exchange and correlation are not known except for the free electron gas.
