What Does MSO Stand For?
MSO stands for Modified Slater Orbital
MSO, or Modified Slater Orbital, refers to a mathematical function used in quantum chemistry and molecular modeling to describe the behavior of electrons in atoms and molecules. It is an adaptation of the Slater orbital, incorporating modifications to improve accuracy in calculations of molecular properties and interactions. MSOs are particularly useful in computational methods such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and provide a more flexible framework for approximating electronic wave functions compared to traditional basis sets.
