Abstract

A general method of obtaining wavefunctions for empirical diatomic molecular potential functions has been given. Efficacy of the method has been tested by computing Franck-Condon factors for some bands of a new system of SiO using Morse oscillator model and these have been compared with the ones obtained using exact Morse wavefunctions. It is concluded that the method is satisfactory at low quantum numbers.
