THE PHYSICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ENERGY COEFFICIENTS OF DIATOMIC-MOLECULES

The importance of the nature of the reduction process for spectral data of diatomic molecules is discussed in relation to the physical significance of the resulting parameters. Spectral data for LiH and CO are examined to illustrate the determination of the applicable radial functions. It is recommended that appropriate constraints be routinely applied during the general fitting of pertinent spectral data of diatomic molecules. © 1990.
