Thank you so much for this video on DFT, along with the series of videos here, Professor. You've helped me tremendously with learning these materials. Thank you! 🥰
It is always SUCH a pleasure to hear from individuals like yourself who have found these materials useful. Thank you so much for letting me know. All best wishes for your future endeavors.
as someone who is not in this field of study I can honestly say that this is mindblowing! the existence of a universal functional feels like we're grasping at the secrets of the universe...
Your lecture videos are always very lucid and helpful. I took the thermodynamics course taught by you over at Coursera- probably the most fun I have had studying the subject. It is a great way to introduce statistical thermodynamics to someone.
Good eyes! I'd love to tell you that Alda's picture is a deliberate Easter egg, but it was a coincidental error in the original slides that I took with permission. No offense to Pierre Hohenberg, but the error hasn't risen to the level of being a priority for correction yet...
Respected Chris Cramer, Thank you very much for all the lectures. All the lectures are really helpful. Why don't you offer a computational chemistry course on coursera (online courses plateform).? If you offer course on coursera it will help the students to earn certificate, which will be an added advantage to students CVs and career.
Hello professor i was wondering why actually we need it like after watching all the previous lecture like on couple cluster theory and CI and other method aren't we getting pretty accurate results already ( close to if we use larger basis set with CCSDT etc) And here you mentioned that we don't know about functional so i mean..
Speed. The computational cost of very complete wave function theory methods quickly becomes prohibitive for larger systems, while DFT can be applied to nearly arbitrarily large systems nowadays (and can be used easily to propagate dynamical trajectories, and can be extended in a straightforward manner to periodic systems).
Thank you so much for this! I noticed at 6:26 there is a picture of Pierre Hohenberg and Walter Kohn. The image for Pierre Hohenberg is incorrect. The picture is actually Alan Alda, the actor. Not a big deal, just interesting. But i kinda feel bad for Pierre.
Dear Sir,Thank you for ur videos Sir. And Sir, I wish to do my MSc Project in DFT of an ion using VASP software. I have some doubts. How can I contact you Sir!. Hope your reply.
Hello, it is an operator, for example Hamiltonian operate in wavefunction. read about operator in quantum chemistry, for example read about Hermitian and then Hamiltonian.
Thank you so much for this series of videos! Everything is conveyed so clearly.
+jamie luskin I'm very pleased that you're finding the material useful! Thanks for letting me know.

Big Thanks from Germany. Brilliant and concise introduction to DFT. Exactly what you want, when you do your first researches about a topic on UA-cam.

Glad to hear you've found all the materials useful, and thanks for letting me know!
Thank you so much for putting these lectures up. Very educational. Incidentally, there is a picture of Alan Alda around 6:44 :)

brief and nice illustrative presentation
:)
This is awesome Chris! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing these lessons to us.
my pleasure -- thanks for leaving your comment.
thank you so much for this
Entirely my pleasure, thanks for letting me know you found it useful.

Sir your video is really awesome 🙂
You're very kind, thanks. Always glad to hear from folks who find the content useful!
Thank you very much professor.
The pleasure is mine -- thanks for letting me know you found the material useful.
great video!
Thank you for the video!!!
6:01 DFT
Thank you so much. Helpful contents!

Very concise and informative.Thank you.
What is hamiltonian?
Hello, it is an operator, for example Hamiltonian operate in wavefunction. read about operator in quantum chemistry, for example read about Hermitian and then Hamiltonian.
WHATS ALAN ALDA DOING THERE INSTEAD OF PIERRE HOHENBERG? 😂😂😂
