      Density Functional Theory: Current Trends and Applications first examines the foundational knowledge surrounding DFT, examining some of its key concepts, such as the Thomas–Fermi model and the Hohenberg–Kohn–Sham theory; looking at the wealth of exchange–correlation functionals; and the advantages and disadvantages of DFT compared to the MO (molecular orbital ) theory and other methods, before exploring the areas of future DFT development. The second section then examines the practical methods and approaches for DFT, looking at the types of density functionals, such as LSDA (local spin-density approximation), GGA (generalized gradient approximation), and meta-GGA functionals; hybrid functionals; DFTB (density functional tight binding) methods; dispersion-corrected functionals; time-dependent DFT; and the plane-wave approach. It also looks at the relationships between DFT and ab initio molecular dynamics and the QM/MM (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) approach.This book is designed for graduate- and postgraduate-level students and postdoctoral researchers principally studying computational and physical chemistry, who want to obtain an up-to-date overview and understanding of density functional and its applications.

      Multiscale modelling approaches can provide valuable insight to researchers across a broad range of fields. At the same time, the interdisciplinary applicability of these approaches means that both new learners and experienced researchers may not have a clear understanding of the theoretical and computational fundamentals underpinning these methods. Theoretical Foundations of Multiscale Modelling aims to address this knowledge gap, providing a clear insight to the thermodynamical and statistical mechanical foundations of methods commonly employed, and highlighting the potential and limitations of each approach.Starting with an overview of the basics of statistical mechanics, the first chapters of the book illustrate the general theory of molecular modelling, the concepts and methods for the study of complex molecular systems, then progressing to cover key strategies employed to perform computational calculations and simulations. The second part of the book reviews how the most recent, cutting-edge tools of the trade are used in practice through a selection of case studies highlighting multiscale modelling, multiple resolution simulation methods, and machine-learning applications. This is also achieved by presenting case studies from recent scientific literature, highlighting the advantages of a multiscale treatment for the understanding of complex molecular phenomena.Drawing on the experience of its authors, Theoretical Foundations of Multiscale Modelling is an insightful guide for all those learning, applying, or interested in exploring multiscale modelling methods for their work.
