What Does GTF Stand For?
GTF stands for Gaussian Type Wave Function
GTF, or Gaussian Type Wave Function, refers to a mathematical function used in quantum mechanics to describe the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels. Characterized by its Gaussian shape, this wave function simplifies complex calculations by providing a convenient means to represent electron orbitals in multi-electron atoms and molecular systems. Its properties make it particularly useful in computational chemistry and quantum chemistry for modeling electronic structures and predicting molecular interactions.
