凝聚态物理从头计算的最新进展

文章评述了凝聚态物理从头计算（ab initio calculation）的一些最新进展.分8个问题进行了介绍，它们是：(1)静态密度泛函发展的两种思路；(2)固体的泛函：晶格常数的准确确定；(3)动态（含时）密度泛函及动态密度矩阵泛函；(4)半导体电子结构的计算：带隙和带序；(5)f电子和强关联金属；(6)莫特（Mott）绝缘体； (7)非共价（弱）相互作用；(8)以波函数为基础的研究.此外，文章还提供了一些相关的背景知识.

Recent advances of ab initio calculations in condensed matter physics

Recent advances of ab initio calculations in condensed matter physics are presented, with regard to the following eight issues. 1. Two ways of thought in static density functional theory; 2. Functional forms in solid state theory; 3. Time dependent density functional theory and density matrix functional theory; 4. Calculations of band structure in semiconductors: band gap and band order; 5. f electrons and strong correlated metals; 6. Mott insulators; 7. Noncovalent (weak) interactions; 8. Wave function based research. Some background knowledge is presented also.
