  ABSTRACT: A three-dimensional global potential energy surface for the ground (X (1)Sigma(+)(g))electronic state of HgH(2) is constructed from more than 13,00 ab initio points. These points are generated using an internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method with the Davidson correction and a large basis set. Low-lying vibrational energy levels of HgH(2), HHgD, and HgD(2) calculated using the Lanczos algorithm are found to be in good agreement with the available experimental band origins. The majority of the vibrational energy levels up to 9000 cm(-1) are assigned with normal mode quantum numbers. Our results indicate a gradual transition for the stretching vibrations from the normal mode regime at low energies to the local mode regime near 9000 and 8000 cm(-1) for HgH(2) and HgD(2), respectively, as evidenced by a decreasing energy gap between the (0,0,n(3)) and (1,0,n(3)-1) vibrational states and bifurcation of the corresponding wave functions.

  ABSTRACT: A three-dimensional global potential energy surface for the ground electronic state of MgH(2) is constructed from more than 3000 ab initio points calculated using the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method with the Davidson correction at the complete basis set limit. Low-lying vibrational energy levels of MgH(2) and MgD(2) are calculated using the Lanczos algorithm, and found to be in good agreement with known experimental band origins. The majority of the vibrational energy levels up to 8000 cm(-1) are assigned with normal mode quantum numbers. However, our results indicate a gradual transition from a normal mode regime for the stretching vibrations at low energies to a local mode regime near 7400 cm(-1), as evidenced by a decreasing energy gap between the (n(1),0,0) and (n(1)-1,0,1) vibrational states and bifurcation of the corresponding wave functions.

  ABSTRACT: A three-dimensional potential energy surface of the ground electronic state HArF is constructed from more than 2000 ab initio points at the multireference averaged quadratic coupled-cluster level employing an augmented large basis set. The calculations indicate that the linear HArF molecule is metastable with a barrier of 0.643 eV in the atomization (HArF --> H + Ar + F) channel and a barrier of 1.017 eV in the dissociation (HArF --> Ar + HF) channel. Variational calculations of low-lying predissociative resonances of both HArF and DArF are performed on the three-dimensional potential energy surface using a complex-symmetric Lanczos propagation method, which yields both positions and widths of the resonance states. The resonance lifetime generally decreases with energy, but strong mode selectivity exists. Reasonably good agreement with experiment confirms the accuracy of our potential. These calculations provide valuable information on the stability and dynamics of HArF/DArF in its ground electronic state.
