Crystalline Solids

Direct correlation functions (DCFs) play a central role in the statistical mechanics description of matter. DCFs provide relevant information about the structure and the thermodynamics of a system and are - in the case of solids - closely related to local defects and mechanical properties. The explicit evaluation of DCFs for an ordered solid has been considered to be computationally too demanding, so far; therefore these functions are traditionally approximated by their liquid counterparts.
