Description
DFT simulations are important for dense plasma physics (neutron stars, inertial confinement fusion, etc.). It would be of pedagogical value to add a simple DFT simulation code to PlasmaPy along with an IPython example notebook.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No repository file, test, or entry point is named; begin by reviewing the PlasmaPy package structure and the linked DFT overview. Define the simulation scope and the IPython example's expected outputs before implementing, then verify that both the code and notebook demonstrate a simple DFT simulation.
