By using a function with a phase factor,a universal analytic potential energy function applied to the interactions between diatoms or molecules is derived and six kinds of potential curves of common shapes are obtained by adjusting the phase factor.The spectroscopic parameters of ten diatomic molecules are calculated by using the potential energy function;as a consequence,all calculation results are in good agreement with experimental data.
A novel scheme for potential energy functions of diatomic molecules is derived using a function with phase factors. Six kinds of potential curves of common shapes are obtained by adjusting the phase factors. Spectroscopic parameters of the ground states for ten kinds of molecules are calculated using the potential energy functions. The results agree well with experimental data.
