function (zeta i ). Also you need to enter basis set for valence electrons specicto this potential. As a result of applying the ECP's you drastically reducenumber of needed basis functions, since only functions for valence electronsare required. In many cases, it would simply be impossible to perform somecalculations on systems involving heavier elements without ECP's (try tocalculate number of functions in TZ2P basis set for e.g. U, and you willknow why).REFERENCESR.
