Carbon monoxide, Coulomb-HulthénPöschl-Teller potential, Stability, Formula Method, energy eigenvaluesAbstract
The quantum mechanical stability of carbon monoxide molecule (CO) with the Coulomb-Hulthén-Pöschl-Teller (CHPT) potential was investigated using the Formula Method. The computed energy spectrum of the investigated quantum states lies below the dissociation threshold, suggesting persistent molecular stability over the screening interval considered. The absence of level crossing and the smooth changes of the energy eigenvalues show that the CHPT potential gives a physically consistent description of the behavior of the bound state of CO. A stability phase-diagram and a percentage stability-loss analysis were also used to quantify the stability characteristic of CO to illustrate the steady reduction in molecular binding with increase in screening. The CHPT potential results of this study compared with those reported for diatomic molecules show that it gives a reliable framework for describing the quantum stability of CO, and also offering a different approach for the investigation of bound state properties of diatomic molecules.
