Electronic Structure with Dipole Moment and Rovibrational
Calculation of Cadmium Chalcogenide Molecules CdX (X = Se, Te)
Abstract
Ab initio calculations of 51 electronic states in the representation 2s+1Λ(±) of CdX
(X = Se, Te) molecules have been carried out by using the complete active space self-consistent
field and multireference configuration interaction (single and double excitations with the
Davidson correction). The potential energy along with the static and transition dipole moment
curves for the investigated electronic states of the CdX molecules has been mapped.
Consequently, the spectroscopic constants Re, ωe, Be, and Te have been computed for the bound
states. The spectroscopic dissociation energy De, the zero-point energy, and the ionicity are also
calculated for the bound electronic states X3Π, (1)1Σ+, (1)1Π, and (1)3Σ+. Rovibrational
calculation is performed for the X3Π, (1)1Σ+, (1)1Π, and (1)3Σ+ states of CdSe together with the
X3Π, (1)1Σ+, and (1)1Π states of a CdTe molecule. The Einstein coefficients of spontaneous and
induced emissions, A21 and B21, are computed for the transition between the electronic states
(1)3Σ+ and X3Π. In the present work, the values are well-consistent with those available in the
literature.
