Ab initio Calculations of the Lowest 1Σg+ States of the Na2 Dimer

The ground and 10 lowest excited adiabatic electronic states of the Na-2 dimer are calculated using the pseudopotential method. The use of the basis [7s6p5d4f] of atomic orbitals makes it possible to extend the range of available internuclear distances up to 1.7-50 angstrom. It is found that the theoretical values of the T-e and D-e constants are in a good agreement with the experimental ones. Herein you will find the sample calculations of the radial non-adiabatic coupling matrix elements enable to transform the basis of the adiabatic states to quasidiabatic one. It is found also that the Le Roy modified radius scales down the left boundary of an asymptotic range for the electronic state with the (3s + 5p) dissociation limit and for the higher states.
