Morse potential specific heat with applications: an integral equations theory based

The specific heat in its molar form or mass form is a significant thermal property in the study of the thermal capacity of the described system. There are two basic methods for the determination of the molar specific heat capacity, one of them is the experimental procedure and the other is the theoretical procedure. The present study deals with finding a formula of the molar specific heat capacity using the theory of the integral equations for Morse interaction which is a very important potential for the study of the general oscillations in the quantum mechanics. We use the approximation (Mean-Spherical) for finding the total energy of the compositions described by Morse interaction. We find two formulas of the heat capacity, one at a constant pressure and the other at a constant volume. We conclude that the Morse molar specific heat is temperature dependent via the inverse square low with respect to temperature. Besides, we find that the Morse molar specific heat is proportional to the square of the Morse interaction well depth. Also, we find that the Morse molar specific heat depends on the particles' diameter, the bond distance of Morse interaction, the width parameter of Morse interaction, and the volumetric density of the system. We apply the formula of the specific heat for finding the specific heat of the vibrational part for two dimer which are the lithium and caesium dimers and for the hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen, and hydrogen molecules.
