What Does UHF Stand For?
UHF stands for Unrestricted Hartree Fock
UHF, or Unrestricted Hartree Fock, is a computational method used in quantum chemistry for solving the electronic structure of many-body systems. It extends the traditional Hartree Fock approach by allowing for different spin states in molecular orbitals, making it particularly effective for describing open-shell systems. UHF provides valuable insights into the electronic behavior of molecules, enabling the analysis of their ground and excited states while accounting for electron correlations.
