Description

A model-potential approach successfully employed in the past for describing potential curves of light alkali dimers is extended to calculate potential curves of Σ symmetry for the heavy molecular ions Rb2+, Cs2+ and RbCs+. The results are in agreement with those calculated using a pseudopotential method, except for the Cs++Cs(5d) dissociation limit. The limits of the present model-potential calculations and the ways of improving them are carefully analysed
