What Does HFPD Stand For?

HFPD stands for Hartree Fock With Proper Dissociation Wave Function

HFPD stands for Hartree Fock With Proper Dissociation Wave Function. It is a computational approach in quantum chemistry that enhances the traditional Hartree-Fock method by incorporating a more accurate wave function to model the dissociation of molecular systems. This method aims to improve the description of electronic correlation effects during bond-breaking processes, facilitating more reliable predictions of molecular properties and behavior in various chemical environments. HFPD is particularly useful in studying systems where conventional Hartree-Fock fails to provide adequate accuracy, such as transition states and weakly bound complexes.
