Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
APS March Meeting 2024 -- Focus Session "De ... (No replies)

We would like to draw your attention to the Focus Topic " Density Functional Theory in Chemical Physics", organized by Adrienn Ruzsinszky (Tulane), and Jianwei Sun (Tulane). It is listed in DCP as 05.1.3:
Sorting Categories | March Meeting 2024 (aps.org)
Density functional theory (DFT) is an indispensable tool in computational materials science and chemistry. Although many methods within DFT have been routinely used, DFT is still continuously being improved. Along with many other examples, semilocal meta-generalized gradient approximations harbor various opportunities for potential applications, and the DFT community can further benefit from a universally applicable robust self-interaction correction.
The upcoming focus topic is dedicated to recent advances and challenges in DFT from the ground to excited states: successes, challenges, scalable implementations in electronic structure codes, and applications to functional materials, interfaces, molecules, and nano-structures. We aim to attract researchers engaged in the development and computational simulations of electronic structure of materials with DFT.
This is also a continuation of the focus topics in previous years. Last year the focus topic on density functional theory had great attendance with stimulating discussions, and we would like to reach this again in 2024. Please consider submitting your contributed abstract to our focus topic if you are developing or testing modern density functionals and exchange-correlation kernels, or otherwise advancing ground-state, excited-state, and time-dependent density functional theory. The abstract deadline is October 20, 2023.
We’re looking forward to seeing many of you in Minneapolis!
With best regards,
Adrienn Ruzsinszky and Jianwei Sun
