DFT becomes useful. 1985: Incorporation of DFT into molecular dynamics (Car-Parrinello)(Now one of PRL stop 10 cited papers). 1988: Beckeand LYP functionals. DFT useful for some chemistry. 1998: Nobel prize awarded to Walter Kohn in chemistry fordevelopment of (,,..,,)NNss rreeeeeNHTVV=++External Potential:Total Molecular Hamiltonian:eNNNHHTV=++21,12||NNIIINIJNN IJIIJTMZZV=>= = RRBorn-Oppenheimer Approximation: []1010(x,..,x;)()(x,..,x;)[](,)(,)eeeeee NNNNNNTVVETVE titt ++ = ++= RRRRRx,iiis=rHohenberg-Kohn Theorem Two systems with the same number Neof electrons have the sameTe+ Vee.
