A generalized version of the Varshni potential function was adopted by Kaxiras and Pandey for describing the 2-body energy portion of multi-body condensed matter. The former's simplicity and resemblance to a Morse potential allows faster computation while the latter's greater number of parameters allows better curve-fitting of spectroscopic data. This paper shows one set of parameter conversion from the Varshni function to the 2-body portion of the Kaxiras-Pandey function, and vice versa two sets of parameter conversion. The latter two sets reveal good correlation between plotted curves, and were verified by the imposition of equal energy curvatures at equilibrium and equal energy integral from equilibrium to dissociation. These parameter conversions can also be attained more easily by equating the product of indices (for short range) and the summation of index reciprocals (for long range).

AbstractA set of relationships between the Morse and Varshni potential functions for describing covalent bondstretching energy has been developed by imposing equal force constant and equal energy integral. In view of the extensive adoption of Morse function in molecular force fields, this paper suggests two sets of parameter conversions from Varshni to Morse. The parameter conversion based on equal force constant is applicable for small change in bond length, while the parameter conversion based on equal energy integral is more applicable for significant bond-stretching. Plotted results reveal that the Varshni potential function is more suitable for describing hard bonds rather than soft bonds.

The new technique of atomic-scale X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (aXPCS) makesuse of a coherent X-ray beam to study the dynamics of various processes in condensed matter systems.Particularly atomistic migration mechanisms are still far from being understood in most of intermetallicalloys and in amorphous systems. Special emphasis must be given to the opportunity to measureatomistic diffusion at relatively low temperatures where such measurements were far out of reach withpreviously established methods. The importance of short-range order is demonstrated on the basis ofMonte Carlo simulations.

The interatomic interactions in a diatomic molecule can be fairly modeled by the Morse potential. Short range interactions of the molecule with the neighboring environment can be analyzed by modifying this potential by delta functions. Energy spectra and radial matrix elements have been calculated using an accurate nine-point finite-difference method for such an interacting homonuclear diatomic molecule. The effect of the strength and position of a single delta function interaction on the alignment of this molecule has been studied. The dependence of alignment on the strength of applied field has also been analyzed.

Abstract The radial Schrödinger wave equation with Morse potential function is solved for HF molecule. The resulting vibration-rotation eigenfunctions are then used to compute the matrix elements of (r - re)n. These are combined with the experimental values of the electric dipole matrix elements to calculate the dipole moment coefficients, M 1 and M 2.

A new generalized Morse potential function with an additional parameter m is proposed to calculate the cohesive energy of nanoparticles. The calculations showed that a generalized Morse potential function using different values for the m and α parameters can be used to predict experimental values for the cohesive energy of nanoparticles. Moreover, the enlargement of the attractive force in the generalized potential function plays an important role in describing the stability of the nanoparticles rather than the softening of the repulsive interaction in the cases when m > 1.

Abstract Taking into account the universal correlation of the force constants of halide bonds with their respective dissociation energies (excluding the fluorides), an internuclear potential energy function of the type V(r) = De (1-e-α(r-re))2 + β (1-δF,X) (r - re)2e-γ(r-re) has been proposed for the diatomic halides. α und β, in the latter are constants for a specific series, γ is determined from the rotational-vibrational constant αe, and the function reduces to the ordinary Morse potential function in the case of the fluorides. It, moreover, performs as well as the Hulburt-Hirschfelder 5-parameter function, and, unlike the latter, utilizes the anharmoni-city constant ωeXe as an internal check.

A presentation and a generalization are given of the phenomenon of level rearrangement. This occurs when an attractive long-range potential is perturbed by a short-range attractive potential as its strength is increased. This phenomenon was first discovered in condensed matter physics and has also been studied in the physics of exotic atoms. A similar phenomenon occurs in a model that we propose, inspired by quantum dots, where a short-range interaction is added to a harmonic confinement.
