Principles of LDA

1 Laser Beam. The special properties of the gas laser that make it so well suited for the measurement of many mechanical properties are spatial and temporal coherence. At aU cross-sections along the laser beam, the intensity has 

2 Doppler Effect. Laser Doppler anemometry utilizes the Doppler effect to measure instantaneous particle velocities. When particles suspended in a flow are illuminated with a laser beam, the frequency of the light scattered (and/or refracted) from the particles is different from that of the incident beam. 

This difference in frequency, called the Doppler shift, is linearly proportional to the particle velocity. 

Even for supersonic flows the seeding particle velocity U is much lower than the speed of light, meaning that U/c 1. Taking advantage of this, eq. (4-16) 

With the particle velocity U being the only unknown parameter, then in principle the particle velocity can be determined from measurements of the Doppler

The dual beam configuration of LDA is most widely used today, where the Doppler difference frequency is directly measured and the receiving optics may be placed at an arbitrary position with respect to the transmitting beams. Laser-Doppler anemometry has been first applied to measurements of mean velocities and turbulence properties in single phase flows. In this case small particles, which follow the flow and the turbulent fluctuations, need to be present in the flow or must be added to it (i.e. seeding the flow with a tracer). The principles of LDA are, for example, described in detail by Durrani and Greated (1977), Durst et al. (1981), and Durst et al. (1987). 

Such a diagnosis is obtained best using supervised or trained algorithms. A number of such predictive algorithms exist, some very similar to that of the principles of PCA (i.e. soft independent modeling of class analogy, SIMCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to more compUcated classifiers such as support vector machines (SVMs), which are based on separating spectral classes by complicated, multidimensional separation planes [30]. At the LSpD, ANNs have been used [52-54] for supervised prediction of class memberships.

In principle, the KS equations would lead to the exact electron density, provided the exact analytic formula of the exchange-correlation energy functional E was known. However, in practice, approximate expressions of Exc must be used, and the search of adequate functionals for this term is probably the greatest challenge of DFT8. The simplest model has been proposed by Kohn and Sham if the system is such that its electron density varies slowly, the local density approximation (LDA) may be introduced ... 

In subsection 3.1, we will present GGA and LDA calculations for Au clusters with 6first principles method outlined in section 2, which employs the same scalar-relativistic pseudo-potential for LDA and GGA (see Fig 1). These calculations show the crucial relevance of the level of density functional theory (DFT), namely the quality of the exchange-correlation functional, to predict the correct structures of Au clusters. Another, even more critical, example is presented in subsection 3.2, where we show that both approaches, LDA and GGA, predict the cage-like tetrahedral structure of Au2o as having lower energy than amorphous-like isomers, whereas for other Au clusters, namely Auig, Au ... 

Figure 7.12 compares the theoretical predictions with the experimental values across the 4d series, assuming one valence s electron per atom and taking x = 12 corresponding to close-packed lattices. The experimental values of the bandwidth are taken from the first principles LDA calculations in Table 7.1. The ratio b2 a is obtained by fitting a bandwidth of 10 eV for Mo with Nd = 5, so that from eqn (7.42) b2/a = eV. The skewed parabolic behaviour of the observed equilibrium nearest-neighbour distance is found to be fitted by values of the inverse decay length that vary linearly across the series as... 

The term local density approximation (LDA) was originally used to indicate any density functional theory where die value of fixe at some position r could be computed exclusively from the value of p at diat position, i.e., the local value of p. In principle, then, the only requirement on p is that it be single-valued at every position, and it can otherwise be wildly ill-behaved (recall that there are cusps in the density at the nucleus, so some ill-behavior...
