Abstract
In this work, a comparative study of four functional forms used to represent potential energy curves (PECs) is presented. The starting point is the Hulburt-Hirschfelder, followed by the Extended Rydberg potential function, ending with two of the most recent potentials presented in the literature for diatomic systems: the Araújo-Ballester potential and the Improved Extended Lennard-Jones potential. The chosen potentials have in common the fact that all their parameters are algebraically calculated, without any fitting procedure, and all of them have direct dependence on Dunham's parameters. The mathematical behavior of these functions for the short- and long-range regions is discussed. As study case, the diatomic system in its ground electronic state was selected. To quantify the accuracy of the potential energy functions, the least-squares Z-test method, proposed by Murrell and Sorbie, is used. Furthermore, the main spectroscopic constants and vibrational energy levels are calculated and compared for all potentials.
期刊介绍:
Since its first formulation quantum chemistry has provided the conceptual and terminological framework necessary to understand atoms, molecules and the condensed matter. Over the past decades synergistic advances in the methodological developments, software and hardware have transformed quantum chemistry in a truly interdisciplinary science that has expanded beyond its traditional core of molecular sciences to fields as diverse as chemistry and catalysis, biophysics, nanotechnology and material science.
