Deriving phase field crystal theory from dynamical density functional theory: Consequences of the approximations

<p>Phase field crystal (PFC) theory is extensively used for modeling the phase behavior, structure, thermodynamics, and other related properties of solids. PFC theory can be derived from dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) via a sequence of approximations. Here, we carefully identify al...
