What Does COOP Stand For?
COOP stands for Crystal Orbital Overlap Population
COOP, or Crystal Orbital Overlap Population, is a computational method used in solid-state physics and quantum chemistry to analyze the interactions and bonding characteristics between atomic orbitals in crystalline materials. By calculating the overlap populations of atomic orbitals, COOP provides insight into the nature and strength of chemical bonds within a crystal structure, facilitating a deeper understanding of electronic properties and material behavior.
