S. Tosto, AN ANALYSIS OF STATES IN THE PHASE-SPACE - THE DIATOMIC-MOLECULES, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. D, Condensed matter,atomic, molecular and chemical physics, biophysics, 18(12), 1996, pp. 1363-1394
The paper concerns a theoretical model to calculate the number of allo
wed states for the electrons in the diatomic molecules through the qua
ntum-statistical analysis of the phase space. The approach is a straig
htforward extension of that already discussed in the case of many-elec
tron atoms. Simple formulae ape derived that enable to calculate the d
issociation energy, bond length and vibrational frequency of diatomic
molecules in a good agreement with the experimental data.
