Calculation of Franck-Condon Factors for Diatomic Molecules.
Abstract
This report calculates Franck-Condon Factors for several diatomic molecules (Br2, BrCl, BrF, IC1, IF, PbO). The potential energy wells for the different electronic states of the molecules were modelled using a Rydberg-Klein-Rees approximation. The results of this approximation were further refined using an Inverted Perturbation Approach. Once the potential energy well was approximated by the turning points of the rotationless energy levels, the Schroedinger Wave Equation was solved to get the wavefunctions. From these wavefunctions the Frank-Condon Factors were calculated. Values of Franck-Condon Factors for selected molecules and states are compared to literature values showing good agreement between values calculated in this report and those reported in the literature. Originator supplied keywords include: Franck-Condon Factors, Rydberg-Klein-Rees Diatomic Molecules, Inverted Perturbation Approach.
