Dear Colleagues:
I am Alex Wang and am co-organizing a symposium on orbital-free density
functional theory (OF-DFT) at the 2010 International Chemical Congress
of Pacific Basin Societies (Pacifichem 2010), which will be held on
Dec. 19 (whole day) and Dec. 20 (morning), 2010 at Honolulu, Hawaii,
USA (http://www.pacifichem.org).
With some remarkable recent developments in OF-DFT and large-scale
simulations in complex systems, we want to use Pacifichem 2010 as a
platform to bring together mathematicians, functional designers,
methodology developers, and method practitioners to discuss and
position OF-DFT as a major tool in simulating complex systems of
thousands of atoms within a diverse chemical bonding environment.
It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit abstracts of posters
and contributed talks on the cutting-edge scientific advances made in
your research group in any of the following areas:
1) Orbital-free density functional theory.
2) Anything related to kinetic-energy density functional: its
functional design, functional properties, and its usage in
orbital-free DFT and embedding/multiscale method.
3) High-quality transferrable local pseudopotentials.
4) Methodology, mathematical aspects, and challenges of large-scale
simulations in complex systems.
The Pacifichem 2010 website is already open for abstract submission
(http://www.pacifichem.org/abstracts). Please submit your abstract
before the April 5 deadline (only two weeks away). In the Technical
Symposia listing (http://www.pacifichem.org/symposia/#5), our OF-DFT
Symposium (http://www.pacifichem.org/symposia/c_symp_258.htm) is in
* Area 5 - Physical, Theoretical & Computational
under the title
* Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory and Its Applications to
Large-Scale Materials Simulations (#258)
We sincerely hope that you will join us for a scientific discourse
at the OF-DFT Symposium during Pacifichem 2010 in December.
With best wishes,
Alex Wang
on behalf of the OF-DFT Symposium Organizers:
