What Does PFC Stand For?
PFC stands for Polarized Frozen Core Approximation
The Polarized Frozen Core Approximation (PFC) is a computational method used in quantum chemistry to simplify the calculation of electronic structures. By treating core electrons as stationary and only allowing valence electrons to be polarized in response to external perturbations, PFC facilitates efficient modeling of molecular interactions and properties. This approach helps reduce computational costs while maintaining a reasonable level of accuracy, making it valuable for studying complex chemical systems.
