Summary:
In discussions of the spectra of diatomic molecules, it is common in many physical chemistry and spectroscopy texts to introduce the Morse potential function V(R) = D{sub e}(1-exp(-β(R-R{sub e}))) as representative of the real potential. The length scaling factor, β, is usually expressed in terms of the harmonic vibration constant, ω{sub e}, the molecular reduced mass, μ, and the well depth, D{sub e}, via β = k ω{sub e}(2π²μ/D{sub e}){sup 1/2} where k is a collection of physical constants appropriate to the units used for ω{sub e}, d{sub e}, μ, and β. The Morse potential has the advantage that many simple, analytical expressions, such as eqn. (2), exist among the parameters of the potential function and observable spectroscopic constants.
