What Does XC Stand For?
XC stands for Exchange Coulomb Potential
XC, or Exchange Coulomb Potential, refers to a theoretical framework used in quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics to describe the effective interaction between electrons in a many-body system. It accounts for both the exchange forces arising from the Pauli exclusion principle and the Coulomb repulsion between charged particles. The XC potential is a crucial component in the formulation of density functional theory (DFT) and plays a significant role in predicting the electronic properties of materials. Understanding XC contributions helps in accurate calculations of energy levels, spatial distributions of electrons, and interactions in various physical systems.
