Calculation of two-center nuclear attraction integrals of Slater type orbitals with noninteger principal quantum numbers using Guseinov's one-center expansion formulas and Lowdin-alpha radial function

In this work, by the use of Guseinov's one-center expansion formulas and Lowdin-alpha radial function, the series expansion relations in molecular coordinate system are established for the two-center nuclear attraction integrals of noninteger n* Slater type orbitals in terms of basic two-center nuclear attraction integrals over integer n Slater functions. The Lowdin alpha-radial function convoluted with the Guseinov's one-center expansion formulas is one of the most important ingredients for accurate and efficient implementation of electronic structure calculation methods regardless of Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (HFR) method. The proposed algorithm shows better performance in arbitrary quantum numbers, screening constants and location of orbitals leading to significantly reduced run times. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
