2. Physics and Chemistry. In an iterative method for approximating the wave function and energy of a quantum system having more than one electron: designating a field calculated to be identical, within a chosen threshold of variation, to the assumed field chosen as a starting point for the iterative procedure. Also: of or relating to this.This method of approximation was first devised in 1928 by British mathematician and physicist Douglas Rayer Hartree (1897–1958), later being refined by the Russian physicist Vladimir Aleksandrovich Fock (1898–1974).

2002 C. M. Quinn Computational Quantum Chem. v. 162 The calculation returns a form for the function, which then can be used to carry out another calculation and so on until the difference between the input choice and the output..is as small as possible, that is to say, the potential field is self-consistent.
