[Studies on the Analytical Potential Energies for Partial Electronic States of Li(2) with Variational Algebraic
Abstract:
The full vibrational spectra especially those high-lying vibrational energies in the dissociation region of four specific electronic states 1(3)Δ(g), 33Σ(+)(g), 1(3)Σ-(g) and b(3)Π(u) have been obtained by using the improved variational algebraic method (VAM). The analytical potential energy functions (APEFs) of these electronic states are also determined with corresponding adjustable parameter λ by using the variational algebraic energy consistent method (VAECM) based on the VAM vibrational spectra. The full vibrational energies, vibrational spectroscopic constants, force constants f(n), and expansion coefficients a(n) of the VAECM potential are also tabulated for each electronic state in this study. The results show that the VAECM analytical potentials are superior to some other widely used analytical ones, and do not have the unphysical tiny barriers existing in the precious AECM potentials.

Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
