What Does NRHF Stand For?

NRHF stands for Numerical Restricted Hartree Fock

Numerical Restricted Hartree Fock (NRHF) is a computational method used in quantum chemistry to approximate the electronic structure of many-body systems. It employs the Hartree-Fock approach, which assumes a single determinant wavefunction, while incorporating numerical techniques to solve the resulting Hartree-Fock equations more efficiently. NRHF is particularly advantageous for systems with complex geometries or diffuse electron distributions, as it enhances computational accuracy and flexibility in basis set selection, making it a valuable tool for researchers in theoretical and computational chemistry.
