What Does GO Stand For?

GO stands for Gaussian Overlap Approxn In Mol Calcns

GO, or Gaussian Overlap Approximation in Molecular Calculations, refers to a computational method used in quantum chemistry to simplify the calculation of electronic properties in molecular systems. By approximating the overlap of Gaussian-type basis functions, GO allows for more efficient evaluations of integrals related to electron interactions, ultimately facilitating faster and more accurate simulations of molecular behavior and properties. This approach is particularly valuable in large-scale molecular modeling and simulations, enhancing the scalability and performance of quantum mechanical calculations.
