The Coulomb wave functions are solutions to the Schrödinger equation for a particle subject to a Coulomb potential, which is the potential energy associated with the interaction between charged particles. This potential is typically represented as \\( V(r) = -\\frac\{Ze^2\}\{r\} \\), where \\( Z \\) is the atomic number (or effective charge), \\( e \\) is the elementary charge, and \\( r \\) is the distance from the charge.
