Theoretical electronic structure of the cadmiummonohalide molecules CdX (X = F, Cl, Br, I)
Abstract
The potential energy and dipole moment curves for the lowest electronic states in the
representation 2s+1() of CdX (X = F, Cl, Br, I) molecules are investigated via complete
active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and multi-reference configuration
interaction MRCI (single and double excitation with Davidson correction). For the
bound states of CdX diatomic molecules the bond distances Re, the vibrational harmonic
frequencies !e, the rotational constants Be, the electronic energies relative to
the ground state Te, and the permanent and transition dipole moments have been computed.
The dissociation energy limits of the atomic levels of CdX compounds are also
calculated. The transition dipole moment between the ground state X2+ and (2)2+
is investigated. Consequently, the transition dipole moment values of the upper state at
its equilibrium position j21j, the emission angular frequency !21, the Einstein coefficients
of spontaneous and induced emissions (A21 and B!
21), the spontaneous radiative
lifetime spon, the emission cross section 0, the line strength and the emission oscillator
strength f 21 are calculated along with the ionicity of the X2+ and (2)2+ states.
The eigenvalues Ev, the rotational constants Bv, the centrifugal distortion constants
Dv and the abscissas of the turning points Rmin and Rmax of X2+ states of the CdX
diatomics are computed. The comparison of the results with those available in literature
shows a very good agreement
