What Does HFKS Stand For?

HFKS stands for Hartree Fock Kohn Sham Density Functional Theory

HFKS, or Hartree Fock Kohn Sham Density Functional Theory, is a computational quantum mechanical modeling method used in physics and chemistry to investigate the electronic structure of many-body systems. It combines the Hartree-Fock approach, which approximates the wave function of a multi-electron system, with the Kohn-Sham framework of density functional theory, which reformulates the problem in terms of electron density rather than wave function. This methodology allows for more efficient calculations of energy levels and electron distributions in atoms, molecules, and solids, making it a vital tool in the study of materials and chemical reactions.
