    Linked via "generalized coordinates"

    Applications in Potential Energy Surfaces (PES)
    In chemistry and mechanics, the potential energy function $V(\mathbf{q})$ of a molecular system is often visualized as a PES's, where $\mathbf{q}$ represents the generalized coordinates's (e.g., bond lengths and angles).
    The gradient's of the potential energy, $\nabla V$, yields the negativ…
