What Does SPHF Stand For?

SPHF stands for Spin Polarized Hartree Fock

SPHF, or Spin Polarized Hartree Fock, is a computational method used in quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics that accounts for the intrinsic spin of electrons in systems with magnetic properties. This approach extends the traditional Hartree Fock method by incorporating spin polarization, allowing for more accurate predictions of electronic structure and interactions in systems where spin effects are significant. SPHF is particularly useful in studying materials with ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism, and other spin-related phenomena, providing insights into their electronic behavior and stability.
