Abstract

Background: The analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation in bispherical coordinates has attracted a great deal of interest for theoretical physics researchers in the branch of quantum physics. The energy and wave function are solutions of the Schrödinger equation which are very important because it contains all necessary information regarding the behavior of quantum systems. Aim: This study aimed to obtain energy, radial wave functions and thermodynamic properties for diatomic molecules from the radial part of the Schrödinger equation in bispherical coordinates for the modified Mobius square plus Yukawa potential using the Nikiforov Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method. Methods: The variable separation method was applied to reduce the Schrodinger equation in bispherical coordinates to the radial part and angular part Schrodinger equation. The Schrodinger equation of the radial part in bispherical coordinates was solved using the Nikiforov Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method to obtain the energy equation and radial wave function. Furthermore, the vibrational partition function 𝑍 was obtained from the energy equation. The vibrational mean energy 𝑈, vibrational specific heat 𝐶, vibrational free energy 𝐹, and vibrational entropy 𝑆 were obtained from the vibrational partition function 𝑍. Results and Discussion: The results showed that the increase of parameters of 𝑛 and 𝛼 caused the decrease of energy, but the increase of parameters of 𝐿 and 𝑚0 caused the increase of energy. The radial quantum number 𝑛 and the potential range 𝛼 had the most effect to the wave functions. The parameters 𝑛𝑚𝑎𝑥, 𝑇, and 𝛼 had effect to the vibrational partition function 𝑍, vibrational mean energy 𝑈, vibrational specific heat 𝐶, vibrational free energy 𝐹, and vibrational entropy 𝑆. Conclusions: From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the energy, radial wave function, and thermodynamic properties for diatomic molecules have been obtained using the Nikiforov Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method.
