摘要
We study here the problem of geometry optimization for a crystal in the Thomas-Fermi-Von Weizsacker (TFW) solid-state setting, i.e., the problem of minimizing the TFW energy with respect to the periodic lattice defining the positions of the nuclei. We show the existence of such a minimum, and use for that purpose the TFW models of polymers and thin films defined in a previous work.
