Stability and the continuum limit of the spin-polarized Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizsäcker model

Abstract

The continuum limit of the spin-polarized Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizsäcker model in an external magnetic field is studied. An extension of the classical Cauchy-Born rule for crystal lattices is established for the electronic structure under sharp stability conditions on charge density and spin density waves. A Landau-Lifshitz type of micromagnetic energy functional is derived.
