What Does CP Stand For?

CP stands for Chemical Pseudopotential

Chemical Pseudopotential (CP) refers to a computational technique used in quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics to simplify the treatment of electron interactions within atoms and molecules. By approximating the effects of the nucleus and core electrons, the CP focuses on the valence electrons that primarily dictate chemical behavior. This approach enhances the efficiency of calculations in many-body systems, enabling more accurate predictions of material properties and facilitating the study of complex chemical processes.
