Abstract

A quantum-defect theory of atomic collisions and molecular vibration spectra is presented. Based on the exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation for an attractive 1/r6 potential, the theory provides a systematic interpretation of molecular bound states and atom-atom scattering properties and establishes the relationship between the two. Applications to systems including 7Li2 and 23Na2 are discussed.
