What Does APS Stand For?

APS stands for Adiabatic Pseudopotential

APS, or Adiabatic Pseudopotential, refers to a theoretical approach used in quantum mechanics and solid-state physics to simplify the description of atomic interactions within a many-body system. It is particularly useful in the study of condensed matter systems, where the effective potential experienced by electrons is modeled as adiabatic, allowing for a more tractable analysis of electron dynamics and the influence of nuclei. By reducing the complexity of electron-nucleus interactions, APS facilitates the exploration of material properties and the behavior of quantum systems under various conditions.
