Abstract

Calculation has been made of the potential energy curves of the crossing states Me2 1 +g (2 P2 P) and Me +2 X2 +g , where Me = Li, Na, K. These crossings are the basis of the photodissociation occurring in alkali vapour lasers. The calculations are completelyab initio, following a group functions procedure.
