What Does ABO Stand For?
ABO stands for Adiabatic Born Oppenheimer Wave Functions
ABO, or Adiabatic Born Oppenheimer Wave Functions, refers to a theoretical framework in quantum chemistry that simplifies the study of molecular systems by decoupling electronic and nuclear motions. This approach is based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, which assumes that nuclear dynamics can be treated separately from electronic dynamics due to the significant mass difference between nuclei and electrons. The ABO wave functions enable the calculation of molecular energy states and properties, facilitating a more efficient analysis of complex chemical interactions and reactions in various fields, including material science and biochemistry.
