Electric dipole moment function of (CO)-C-12-O-16

Vibration-rotation energy states and corresponding wave functions of carbon monoxide molecule (CO)-C-12-O-16 are generated by numerically solving the radial Schrodinger wave equation using an anharmonic potential function wit h eight parameters. With these wave functions and the measured line strengt hs that are available for the first five vibrational levers, 183 dipole mom ent matrix elements M-0(v)'(m) are evaluated. Finally, the dipole moment co efficients, M-0,M-1,..., M-4, are extracted from the matrix elements. (C) 2 000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
