PRITHIVI KUMARAN, N.  and  RAJAMANICKAM, N.. PD molecule: transition probabilities and dissociation energy. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2002, vol.48, n.5, pp.432-433. ISSN 0035-001X.

The Franck-Condon (FC) factors (transition probabilities) and r-centroids have been evaluated by the more reliable numerical integration procedure for the bands of A³ Π_i- X³ Σ^- system of molecule PD, using a suitable potential. The dissociation energy for the electronic ground state of PD molecule has been estimated by fitting the empirical potential function to the experimental potential energy curve, using correlation coefficient.

Keywords : Franck-Condon factors and r-centroids; dissociation energy; PD molecule.
