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 …

Conductivity of concentrated electrolytes
