An approximation replacing the nonspherical instantaneous many-electron interaction by an effective spherically symmetric one-electron potential.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Central-field models average nonspherical and correlation effects into a radial one-electron potential.
The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.
wp-physics-central_field_approximationnist-atomic-spectroscopywp-physics-atomic_hamiltonianThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Central-field models encode much of electron screening in an effective radial potential.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
