How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T3572525 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Born–Huang expansion
The Born–Huang expansion is a quantum mechanical method that systematically improves upon the Born–Oppenheimer approximation by including couplings between electronic and nuclear motions in molecular systems.

C.
Herzberg–Teller approximation
The Herzberg–Teller approximation is a refinement in molecular spectroscopy that accounts for vibronic coupling by allowing electronic transition dipole moments to depend on nuclear coordinates, explaining intensity in otherwise forbidden transitions.
-
D.
Sommerfeld expansion in statistical mechanics
The Sommerfeld expansion in statistical mechanics is an asymptotic method used to approximate integrals involving Fermi–Dirac distributions at low temperatures, widely applied to calculate thermodynamic properties of degenerate electron gases in metals.
