Abstract
In a paper published in July 1929 Philip Morse [38] used the potential
to model the vibrational energy of a diatomic molecule, where r is the bond length, r0 the equilibrium bond length, a a parameter controlling the potential width, and D the dissociation energy of the molecule measured from the potential minimum.
