What Does CPP Stand For?

CPP stands for Core Polarization Potential

Core Polarization Potential (CPP) refers to the effective interaction potential that captures the polarization effects of the core electrons in a quantum mechanical system. It is utilized in computational chemistry and material science to enhance the accuracy of electronic structure calculations, particularly in the context of molecular interactions and solid-state phenomena. By accounting for core electron dynamics, CPP provides a more realistic representation of electron behavior, leading to improved predictions of chemical properties and reaction mechanisms.
