Abstract
A very accurate ground-state potential energy curve (PEC) of the He(2)(+) molecule is calculated with 1200 explicitly correlated Gaussian functions with shifted centers in the range between 0.9 and 100 a(0). The calculations include the adiabatic corrections determined for the (3)He(4)He(+), (3)He(2)(+), and (4)He(2)(+) isotopologues. The absolute accuracy of the PEC is better than 0.05 cm(-1) and that of the adiabatic corrections is around 0.01 cm(-1). The depths of the PECs augmented with the adiabatic corrections for the three isotopologues are: 19 956.708 cm(-1) for (4)He(2)(+), 19 957.054 cm(-1) for (3)He(4)He(+), and 19 957.401 cm(-1) for (3)He(2)(+). The rovibrational energies are also determined. For (3)He(4)He(+) the computed rovibrational transitions corresponding to the ν = 1-0 band differ from the experiment by less than 0.005 cm(-1). For the rovibrational transitions corresponding to the ν = 23-22 band the difference is around 0.012 cm(-1). Presently, this represents the best agreement between theory and experiment for He(2)(+).
