16. We retained the term potential energy surface (PES) used in Foresman and Frisch. Foresman, J. B.; Frisch, A. (Exploring Chemistry with Electronic Structure Methods: A Guide to Using Gaussian) 2nd ed.; Gaussian Inc.: Pittsburgh, PA, 1996). In actual fact what is referred to here is a potential energy curve, i.e., a slice off a potential energy surface.
