What Does FRC Stand For?

FRC stands for Frozen Core Approxn

FRC, or Frozen Core Approximation, is a computational technique used in quantum chemistry and molecular physics to simplify the calculation of electronic structure. By treating a subset of core electrons as a fixed background potential and focusing on the valence electrons, FRC reduces the complexity of quantum mechanical simulations. This method enhances computational efficiency while maintaining a reasonable level of accuracy in predicting molecular properties and behaviors.
