Fig. 6. Snapshot from a dynamic density functional simulation of the self-organisation of the block copolymer PL64 (containing 30 propylene oxide rmd 26 ethylene oxide units (EO)i3(PO)3o(EO)i3) in 70% aqueous solution. The simulation was carried out during 6250 time steps on a 64 x 64 x 64 grid (courtesy of B.A.C. van Vlimmeren and J.G.E.M. Praaije, Groningen).

Interestingly, the energy difference is smallest for S7O which as a heterocycle forms a crown-shaped eight-membered ring similar to and isoelec-tronic with the well known 8 structure of 04a symmetry. The transformation of the heterocycle S7O into the homocyclic isomer 7=0 was studied by the molecular dynamics/density functional method but the unrealistically high barrier of 5 eV calculated for this transformation indicates that the system was far from equilibrium during most of the simulation [66]. 

For vanadium, the ratios are smaller, and the dynamic density maps do not show a distinct maximum in the cube direction. The difference is attributed to anharmonicity of the thermal motion. Thermal displacement amplitudes are larger in V than in Cr, as indicated by the values of the isotropic temperature factors, which are 0.007 58 and 0.00407 A2 respectively. As in silicon, the anharmonic displacements are larger in the directions away from the nearest neighbors, and therefore tend to cancel the asphericity of the electron density due to bonding effects. 

During the friction measurement, a test tube containing a small piece of gel is placed in the same water bath and the appearance of the gel is continuously monitored. The decrease of the diameter of the free gel from the isochore diameter is less than 10% at the highest temperature of the present friction experiment. This observation confirms that the gel swelling or shrinking as a whole should not have a significant effect on the friction measurement. A slight opacity of the gel develops in the gel in the vicinity of the temperature at which the friction of the gel diminishes and is presumably due to the dynamic density fluctuations. 

In recognition of the rapid expansion of computational chemistry in the 1980s, Andre Bandrauk and Andre Michel of the University of Sherbrooke organized the First Canadian Symposium on Computational Chemistry in May 1991 in Orford, Quebec. The conference included invited papers on dynamics, density functional methods, molecular modeling, Monte Carlo methods, and topics in quantum chemistry and statistical mechanics. About half of the invited speakers were from abroad (mostly from the United States). 

The dynamical density of matter in the Solar vicinity was investigated again by Oort (1932), who arrived at a different answer. According to his analysis the total density exceeds the density of visible stellar populations by a factor of up to 2. This limit is often called the Oort limit. This result means that the amount of invisible matter in the Solar vicinity could be approximately equal to the amount of visible matter.

In this section we apply TD-DFT developed in the previous section to study dynamic density fluctuations (A) and transport coefficients(B). In these studies the approximation (4) or (6) for the free-energy functional is employed since we have no reliable information on higher-order direct correlation functions Cn(n 3).
