Er... you should explain a little bit more here. Did you try looking for them yourself and couldn't find them? Do you have access to physics journals? If you don't, there's no point in people giving you references to those. If you do, did you try doing your own search and didn't find any? Etc etc...

There are many available on the web from just a simple search:

The Atkins book is pretty good about deriving the ab initio methods.
 
The basis of understanding DFT is hatree-fock formalism. Therefore if you want to get complete picture of how DFT gets around problems of hatree-fock, i would recomment you to read any general book on quantum chemistry which treats hatree-fock mathematically.
Its a brave step to start from the very basic steps of its formalism but it pays well in seeing thebig picture.

good luck
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
