Despite all the attempts made by several authors to investigate the bound state solutions of the Schrödinger equation with various potentials, until now, such investigations have not been conducted for Frost–Musulin diatomic potential. In this study, we obtain the approximate bound state solution of this potential via the functional analysis method. We also numerically solved the Schrödinger equation without any approximation to centrifugal term for the same potential. The comparisons between the results reveal the accuracy of our approximate results for short-range potential.

In this study, the radial part of the Schrödinger equation with the Deng-Fan-Eckart potential (DFEP) is solved analytically by employing the improved Greene and Aldrich approximation to bypass the centrifugal barrier and using the Nikiforov-Uvarov-Functional Analysis method (NUFA). The energy expression and wave function are obtained respectively. The numerical energy spectra for some diatomic molecules have been studied and compared with the findings of earlier studies and it has been found to be in good agreement. The NUFA method used in this study is easy and very less cumbersome compared to other methods that currently exist and it is recommended that researchers in this area adopt this method. The findings of this study will find direct applications in molecular physics.

Background: The analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation in bispherical coordinates has attracted a great deal of interest for theoretical physics researchers in the branch of quantum physics. The energy and wave function are solutions of the Schrödinger equation which are very important because it contains all necessary information regarding the behavior of quantum systems. Aim: This study aimed to obtain energy, radial wave functions and thermodynamic properties for diatomic molecules from the radial part of the Schrödinger equation in bispherical coordinates for the modified Mobius square plus Yukawa potential using the Nikiforov Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method. Methods: The variable separation method was applied to reduce the Schrodinger equation in bispherical coordinates to the radial part and angular part Schrodinger equation. The Schrodinger equation of the radial part in bispherical coordinates was solved using the Nikiforov Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method to obtain the energy equation and radial wave function. Furthermore, the vibrational partition function 𝑍 was obtained from the energy equation. The vibrational mean energy 𝑈, vibrational specific heat 𝐶, vibrational free energy 𝐹, and vibrational entropy 𝑆 were obtained from the vibrational partition function 𝑍. Results and Discussion: The results showed that the increase of parameters of 𝑛 and 𝛼 caused the decrease of energy, but the increase of parameters of 𝐿 and 𝑚0 caused the increase of energy. The radial quantum number 𝑛 and the potential range 𝛼 had the most effect to the wave functions. The parameters 𝑛𝑚𝑎𝑥, 𝑇, and 𝛼 had effect to the vibrational partition function 𝑍, vibrational mean energy 𝑈, vibrational specific heat 𝐶, vibrational free energy 𝐹, and vibrational entropy 𝑆. Conclusions: From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the energy, radial wave function, and thermodynamic properties for diatomic molecules have been obtained using the Nikiforov Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method.

This introductory chapter considers first the relation between molecular reaction dynamics and the major branches of physical chemistry. The concept of elementary chemical reactions at the quantized state-to-state level is discussed. The theoretical description of these reactions based on the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the Born–Oppenheimer approximation is introduced and the resulting time-dependent Schrödinger equation describing the nuclear dynamics is discussed. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of matter at thermal equilibrium, focusing at the Boltzmann distribution. Thus, the Boltzmann distribution for vibrational, rotational, and translational degrees of freedom is discussed and illustrated.

Chapter 7 illustrates the results obtained by applying the Schrödinger equation to a simple pedagogical quantum system, the particle in a one-dimensional box. The wave functions are seen to be sine waves; their wavelengths are evaluated and used to calculate the quantized energies via the de Broglie relation. An energy-level diagram of some of the energies is constructed; on it are illustrations of the corresponding wave functions and probability distributions. The wave functions are seen to be either symmetric or antisymmetric about the midpoint of the line representing the box, thereby providing a lead-in to the later exploration of certain symmetry properties of multi-electron atoms. It is next pointed out that the Schrödinger equation for this system is identical to Newton’s equation describing the vibrations of a stretched musical string. The different meaning of the two solutions is discussed, as is the concept and structure of linear superpositions of them.
