1s Slater-type Function

A normalized 1s Slater-type function is a function which has the form

It is a particular case of a Slater-type orbital (STO) in which the principal quantum number n is 1. The parameter is called the Slater orbital exponent. Related sets of functions can be used to construct STO-nG basis sets which are used in quantum chemistry.
