Understanding "c.c." in Screened Potential Notation

[dejo-ro]

Hi,

I encountered some unfamiliar notation in a condensed matter problem:

Consider a screened potential of the form:
V_sc(r,t)=Ve^iqre^-iwte^at+c.c.

Could someone please explain to me the meaning of the term "c.c."? From the given context I can gather that it has something to do with swapping the sign of q and w, but I'd be grateful for a more precise definition.

Complex conjugate.

Huh, should've figured that out myself, makes sense. Thanks!
