Advantages of DFT Calculations Calculations can be performed on unstable molecules and reaction transition states; Experiments are very difficult on such molecules and can not be performed on transition states. Calculations are becoming less and less costly; Experiments are becoming more and more costly. NCCR-Review-1
Advantages of Calculations (Cont.) Calculations are safe; Experiments are sometimes dangerous. Calculations are now easy to perform; Experiments are sometimes more difficult. Calculations are now performed not only by computational chemists but also experimental chemists. NCCR-Review-1

EXCHANGE CORRELATIONS 1. LDA Method: Applicable to the systems with slowly varying electron density. Disadvantages: Underestimates bandgap in semiconductor. 2.GGA Method: It gives good results for structural and magnetic properties of materials that are closer to experimental values. NCCR-Review-1
PSEUDOPOTENTIALS Using Pseudopotentials we can remove core electrons from our calculations. Since the contribution of core electron to chemical bonding is negligible. Advantages: Due to less number of electrons, only less eigen states of the kohn-shan equations have to be solved. Therefore the computational time is considerably reduced. NCCR-Review-1
