论文摘要
经典的动力学密度功能理论(DDFT)已成为非平衡软物质物理学中的中心建模方法之一。近年来,DDFT的新颖和有趣的应用领域的出现。特别是,与化学有关的工作数量显着增长。此外,DDFT激发了对其他理论(例如相场晶体模型和功率功能理论)的研究。从这个角度来看,我们总结了DDFT领域的最新发展,并讨论了未来研究的各种可能的方向。
Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) has become one of the central modeling approaches in nonequilibrium soft matter physics. Recent years have seen the emergence of novel and interesting fields of application for DDFT. In particular, there has been a remarkable growth in the amount of work related to chemistry. Moreover, DDFT has stimulated research on other theories such as phase field crystal models and power functional theory. In this perspective, we summarize the latest developments in the field of DDFT and discuss a variety of possible directions for future research.
