Description

The paper presents the MSXα total and orbital energies for the lowest states of Be2, Mg2 and Ca2 according to non-spin-polarized calculations with exchange parameter α=2/3 in the so-called atomic regions of molecules. The calculated potential curves for Mg2 and Ca2 correspond to dissociation energies Dsub(e) and equilibrium separations Rsub(e) which are too large compared to the experimental values: that is, Dsub(e) are too large by factors between 1.59 and 8.94, while Rsub(e) are too large by factors 1.03 and 1.11, respectively.
