correlation energy

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.C01349
The difference between the @H02747@–Fock energy calculated for a system and the exact non-relativistic energy of that system. The correlation energy arises from the approximate representation of the electron-electron repulsions in the @H02747@–Fock method.
