What Does ODFS Stand For?

ODFS stands for Optimized Dirac Fock Slater

ODFS, or Optimized Dirac Fock Slater, refers to a computational method in quantum chemistry and electronic structure theory. It combines the principles of the Dirac equation for relativistic effects with the Fock and Slater approaches to optimize the calculation of electronic interactions in complex atomic and molecular systems. This method enhances accuracy in describing electron behavior, particularly in heavy elements, and is utilized for predicting material properties and aiding in the design of new compounds.
