Popis: The rotational‐dependent potential for a dissociative state is represented by U(r)=U0+B1/r +B2/r2+[N(N+1)−Λ2]/2Mr2. An analytical solution ψE(r) of the Schrodinger radial equation, valid for all regions of internuclear distance r and energy E, is obtained in terms of confluent hypergeometric function of the complex arguments. The solution is evaluated by expanding the confluent hypergeometric function onto a basis set of shifted Chebyshev polynomials. The expansion coefficients are recovered by a backward recursion technique. The summation process of Chebyshev polynomials converts a slowly convergent series or a divergent asymptotic series into a rapidly convergent one. The solution thus obtained is applied to calculate the vibrational wave function of the dissociative b 3Σ+u state of H2 to compare with the previous semiclassical WKB wave function. The solution of the rotational‐corrected Morse potential is used for the upper bound c 3Πu state. The bound‐continuum Frank–Condon overlap amplitude is compute...
