Molecular energies of the improved Rosen−Morse potential energy model

Abstract

We solve the Schrödinger equation with the improved Rosen−Morse empirical potential energy model. The rotation-vibrational energy spectra and the unnormalized radial wave functions have been obtained. The interaction potential energy curves for the 33Σg+ state of the Cs2 molecule and the 51Δg state of the Na2 molecule are modeled by employing the improved Rosen−Morse potential and the Morse potential. Favourable agreement for the improved Rosen−Morse potential is found in comparing with the Rydberg−Klein−Rees potential. The vibrational energy levels predicted by using the improved Rosen−Morse potential for the 33Σg+ state of Cs2 and the 51Δg state of Na2 are in better agreement with the Rydberg−Klein−Rees data than the predictions of the Morse potential.
