Stationary Point In Chemistry
Linked via "quantum mechanical uncertainty"
Zero-Point Vibrational Energy (ZPVE) Correction
While stationary points define the classical potential energy minima, real chemical systems possess Zero-Point Vibrational Energy (ZPVE)/). The ZPVE/) arises from the inherent quantum mechanical uncertainty in the position and momentum of the nuclei, even at absolute zero temperature.
The ZPVE/) correction ($E_{ZPVE}$…
