Abstract
Formulae of Le Roy-Bernstein near-dissociation theory are derived in a general isotope-invariant form, applicable to any term in the rotational expansion of a diatomic ro-vibrational term value. It is proposed to use the generalized Le Roy-Bernstein expansion to describe the binding energies (ro-vibrational term values) of the ground triplet state a(3) Σ(u)(+) of alkali metal dimers. The parameters of this description are determined for Rb2 and Cs2 molecules. This approach gives a recipe to calculate the whole variety of the binding energies with characteristic accuracies from ∼1 × 10(-3) to 1 × 10(-2) cm(-1) using a relatively simple algebraic equation.
