Effects of Applied Magnetic Field on the Optical Properties and Binding Energies Spherical GaAs Quantum Dot with Donor Impurity

The screened modified Kratzer potential (SMKP) model is utilized to scrutinize the impacts of an applied magnetic field (MF) on the binding energies and linear and nonlinear optical properties spherical GaAs quantum dot with donor impurity (DI). To accomplish this goal, we have used the diagonalization method to numerically solve the Schrödinger equation under the effective mass approximation for obtaining the electron energy levels and related electronic wave functions. The expressions used for evaluating linear, third-order nonlinear, and total optical absorption coefficients and relative refractive index changes were previously derived within the compact density matrix method. It has been shown here that the MF and DI impacts the characteristics of the absorption coefficients and the refractive index changes. This study's results will find application in optoelectronics and related areas.

A method for predicting the molar heat capacities of HBr and HCl gases based on the full set of molecular rovibrational energies

A new method is presented for one to obtain the molar heat capacities of diatomic macroscopic gas with a full set of microscopic molecular rovibrational energies. Based on an accurate experimental vibrational energies subset of a diatomic electronic ground state, the full vibrational energies can be obtained by using the variational algebraic method (VAM), the potential energy curves (PECs) will be constructed by the Rydberg-Klein-Rees (RKR) method, the full set of rovibrational energies will be calculated by the LEVEL program, and then the partition functions and the molar heat capacities of macroscopic gas can be calculated with the help of the quantum statistical ensemble theory. Applying the method to the ground state HBr and HCl gases, it is found that the relative errors of the partition functions calculated in the temperature range of 300 ∼ 6000 K are in excellent agreement with those obtained from TIPS database, and the calculated molar heat capacities are closer to the experimental values than those calculated by other methods without considering the energy levels of highly excited quantum states. The present method provides an effective new way for one to obtain the full set of molecular rovibrational energies and the molar heat capacities of macroscopic gas through the microscopic spectral information of a diatomic system.

Analyzing the Effects of Topological Defect (TD) on the Energy Spectra and Thermal Properties of LiH, TiC and I2 Diatomic Molecules

In this study, the impacts of TD on the energy spectra and thermal properties of LiH, TiC and I₂ diatomic molecules is considered. The Schrodinger equation in cosmic string spacetime is solved with the generalized Morse potential using the well-known (NU) method. The energy spectra and eigenfunction are obtained respectively. The energy spectra is used to obtain the partition function which is then used to evaluate the thermal properties of the system is evaluated accordingly. We find that the energy spectra in the presence of the TD differ from their flat Minkowski spacetime analogue. The effects of the deformation parameter and TD on the thermal properties of the system is also analysed in detail. We observe that the specific heat capacity of the system tends to exhibit quasi-saturation as the deformation parameter and topological defect approaches unity. The results of our study can be applied in the astrophysical situation where these modifications exist in the understanding of spectroscopical data and it may be used as a probe of the presence of a cosmic string or a global monopole in the Universe.

Ro-vibrational energies of cesium dimer and lithium dimer with molecular attractive potential

An approximate solution of the Schrӧdinger equation for a molecular attractive potential was obtained using the parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov method. The energy equation and the corresponding radial wave functions were calculated. The effects of the potential parameters on the energy eigenvalues were examined. The thermal properties under the molecular attractive potential were calculated and the behaviour of the thermal properties with the maximum quantum state (λ) and the temperature parameter (β) respectively, were studied. Using the molecular spectroscopic parameters, the Rydberg–Klein–Rees (RKR) of cesium dimer and lithium dimer were both obtained and compared with the experimental values. The RKR values of both cesium dimer and lithium dimer calculated aligned with the observed values. The deviation and average deviation of the RKR for each molecule were also calculated.

Uncertainty of High Temperature Heat Capacities: The Case Study of the NH Radical

The difficulties in calculation of high temperature heat capacities and discrepancies between available data are discussed in the case of the NH molecule. The source of those inaccuracies are the underlining potential energy curves. The relevant partition functions and heat capacities are calculated with the classical Wigner-Kirkwood corrected method. In addition to the ground electronic state, also four excited states are taken into account. Two potential energy curves and experimental energy levels of the ground state are considered.

Predictions of Entropy and Gibbs Energy for Carbonyl Sulfide

Many chemical and physical equilibrium conditions can be determined from minimizing the Gibbs free energies of the system. Efficient analytical representations of the entropy and Gibbs free energy of carbonyl sulfide remain elusive in the communality of science and engineering. Here, we report two analytical representations of the entropy and Gibbs free energy for carbonyl sulfide, and the prediction procedures only involve six molecular constants of the carbonyl sulfide molecule. In the temperature range from 300 to 6000 K, the average relative deviations of the predicted molar entropy and reduced Gibbs free energy values of carbonyl sulfide from the National Institute of Standards and Technology database are arrived at 0.150 and 0.189%, respectively.

Thermodynamic Properties for Carbon Dioxide

We first report three reliable analytical expressions of the entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and perform predictions of these three thermodynamic quantities on the basis of the proposed analytical expressions and in terms of experimental values of five molecular constants for CO₂. The average relative deviations of the calculated values from the National Institute of Standards and Technology database over the temperature range from 300 to 6000 K are merely 0.053, 0.95, and 0.070%, respectively, for the entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy. The present predictive expressions are away from the utilization of plenty of experimental spectroscopy data and are applicable to treat CO₂ capture and storage processes.

Thermodynamic Properties of Gaseous Carbon Disulfide

Efficient analytical representations of the thermodynamic properties for carbon disulfide remain open challenges in the communality of science and engineering. We present two analytical representations of the entropy and Gibbs free energy for gaseous carbon disulfide which we find to be of satisfactory accuracy and convenient for future use. The proposed two analytical representations merely rely on five molecular constants of the carbon disulfide molecule and avoid applications of a large number of experimental spectroscopy data. In the temperature range from 300 to 6000 K, the average relative deviations of the predicted molar entropy and reduced Gibbs free energy values from the National Institute of Standards and Technology database are 0.250 and 0.108%, respectively.

Bound state solutions of Schrödinger equation with modified Mobius square potential (MMSP) and its thermodynamic properties

We solved the Schrödinger equation with the modified Mobius square potential model using the modified factorization method. Within the framework of the Greene-Aldrich approximation for the centrifugal term and using a suitable transformation scheme, we obtained the energy eigenvalues equation and the corresponding eigenfunction in terms of the hypergeometric function. Using the resulting eigenvalues equation, we calculated the vibrational partition function and other relevant thermodynamic properties. We also showed that the modified Mobius square potential can be reduced to the Hua potential model using appropriate potential constant values.
