The potential energy curves (PECs) of 1(2)Σ(+), 2(2)Σ(+), 1(2)Π, and 2(2)Π states of KBe are calculated using multireference configuration interaction method and large all-electron basis sets. Four sets of frozen core orbitals (FCOs) are considered to examine the effect of inner-shell correlation electrons on the molecular properties. The ro-vibrational energy levels are obtained by solving the Schrödinger equation of nuclear motion based on the ab initio PECs. The spectroscopic parameters are determined from the ro-vibrational levels with Dunham expansion. The PECs are fitted into analytical potential energy functions using the Morse long-range potential function. The dipole moment functions of the states for KBe calculated with different FCOs are presented. The transition dipole moments for KBe between 1(2)Σ(+) and 2(2)Σ(+) states, 1(2)Π and 1(2)Σ(+) states, and 2(2)Π and 1(2)Σ(+) states are also obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
