With the introduction of a new improved approximation scheme (Pekeris-type approximation) to deal with the centrifugal term, the energy eigenvalues and the wave functions of the Schrodinger equation of the shifted Deng-Fan molecular potential ¨ are obtained, via the asymptotic iteration method. Rotationalvibrational energy eigenvalues of some diatomic molecules are presented, these results are in good agreement with other results in the literature. For these selected diatomic molecules, energy eigenvalues obtained are in much better agreement with the results obtained from the rotating Morse potential model for moderate values of rotational and vibrational quantum numbers. Furthermore, thermodynamic properties such as the vibrational mean U, specific heat C, free energy F and entropy S for the pure vibrational state in the classical limit for these energy eigenvalues are studied.

In this paper, the energy spectra of the general molecular potential are obtained using the asymptotic iteration method within the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics.With the energy spectrum obtained, the vibrational partition function is calculated in a closed form and is used to obtain an expression for other thermodynamic functions such as vibrational mean energy U , vibrational mean free energy F, vibrational entropy S and vibrational specific heat capacity C. These thermodynamic functions are studied for the electronic state X 1 + g of K 2 diatomic molecules.

Using the asymptotic iteration method (AIM), we have obtained analytical approximations to the ℓ-wave solutions of the Schrödinger equation with the Manning-Rosen potential. The equation of energy eigenvalues equation and the corresponding wavefunctions have been obtained explicitly. Three different Pekeris-type approximation schemes have been used to deal with the centrifugal term. To show the accuracy of our results, we have calculated the eigenvalues numerically for arbitrary quantum numbers n and ℓ for some diatomic molecules (HCl, CH, LiH and CO). It is found that the results are in good agreement with other results found in the literature. A straightforward extension to the s-wave case and Hulthén potential case are also presented.

In this paper, we obtained the exact bound state energy spectrum of the Schrödinger equation with energy dependent molecular Kratzer potential using asymptotic iteration method (AIM). The corresponding wave function expressed in terms of the confluent hypergeometric function was also obtained. As a special case, when the energy slope parameter in the energy-dependent molecular Kratzer potential is set to zero, then the well-known molecular Kratzer potential is recovered. Numerical results for the energy eigenvlaues are also obtained for different quantum states, in the presence and absence of the energy slope parameter. These results are discussed extensively using graphical representation. Our results are seen to agree with the results in literature.

Using the basic concept of the supersymmetric shape invariance approach and formalism, we obtained an approximate solution of the Schrödinger equation with an interaction of inversely quadratic Yukawa potential, Yukawa potential and Coulomb potential which we considered as a class of Yukawa potentials. By varying the potential strengths, we obtained a solution for Hellmann potential, Yukawa potential, Coulomb potential and inversely quadratic Yukawa potential. The numerical results we obtained show that the interaction of these potentials is equivalent to each of the potential.

This study presents the Shannon and Renyi information entropy for both position and momentum space and the Fisher information for the position-dependent mass Schr¨odinger equation with the Frost-Musulin potential. The analysis of the quantum mechanical probability has been obtained via the Fisher information. The variance information of this potential is equally computed. This controls both the chemical properties and physical properties of some of the molecular systems. We have observed the behaviour of the Shannon entropy. Renyi entropy, Fisher information and variance with the quantum number n respectively.
