WIGNER HIGH-ELECTRON-CORRELATION REGIME OF NON-UNIFORM DENSITY SYSTEMS: A QUANTAL-DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL-THEORY STUDY by DOUGLAS M. ACHAN Advisor: Prof. Lou Massa The Wigner regime of a system of electrons in an external field is characterized by a low electron density and a high electron-interaction energy relative to the kinetic energy. The low correlation regime is in turn described by a high el...
