Física estadística. De estados y partículas: una mirada nueva a viejas controversias

Of all the different areas in computational chemistry, density functional theory (DFT) enjoys the most rapid development. Even at the level of the local density approximation (LDA), which is computationally less demanding, DFT can usually provide better answers than Hartree-Fock formalism for large systems such as clusters and solids. For atoms and molecules, the results from DFT often rival those obtained by ab initio quantum chemistry, partly because larger basis sets can be used. Such encouraging results have in turn stimulated workers to further investigate the formal theory as well as...

La física, y en general la ciencia, comenzó una nueva etapa –sobre cuyos cimientos se construiría el mundo moderno– con la publicación en 1687 de Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, el libro inmortal de Isaac Newton Pero, al contrario de lo que muchos creen, la física newtoniana no nació completa, acabada: fue necesario el trabajo de muchos otros científicos para que alcanzase el grado de perfección por el que es conocida y admirada. Y en esa labor pocos pueden competir con el matemático, físico y astrónomo francés, Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749-1827), uno de los...
