Electronic structure of the BaO molecule with dipole moments and ro-vibrational calculations
Abstract
The twenty-three low-lying electronic states (singlet and triplet) of the BaO molecule have been studied by using
an ab initio method. These electronic states have been investigated by using the Complete Active Apace Self-Consistent
Field (CASSCF) followed by multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI+ Q) with Davidson correction.
The potential energy curves, the internuclear distance Re, the harmonic frequency ωe, the rotational
constant Be, the electronic energywith respect to the ground state Te and the static and transition dipole moment
have been investigated. The Einstein spontaneous and induced emission coefficients A21 and B21
ω as well as the
spontaneous radiative lifetime τspon, emission wavelength λ21 and oscillator strength f21 have been calculated
by using the transition dipolemoment between somedoublet electronic states. The calculation of the eigenvalues
Ev, the rotational constant Bv, the centrifugal distortion constant Dv, and the abscissas of the turning points Rmin
and Rmax have been done by using the canonical functions approach. A very good agreement is shown by comparing
the values of our work to those found in the literature for many electronic states. Eighteen newelectronic
states have been studied here for the first time.
