Morse potential Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The
Morse potential, named after physicist Philip M. Morse, is a convenient model for the
potential energy of a
diatomic molecule. It is of the form
- .
Here is the distance between the atoms, is the equilibrium bond distance, is the 'depth' of the potential energy function (the difference in energy between and at infinite separation), and controls the 'width' of the potential.
