Compact Molecule of Beryllium

Abstract

The interaction potential for beryllium atoms is calculated using the Ritz variational method with molecular wave functions as trial functions. The results of calculations for Be2 molecules in the 1Σg + state, which from the well–known data is considered ground, coincide with the results of previous studies. Similar calculations for the 3Σu + state show that the minimum energy for this state is reached at horter internuclear distance and is lower than that for the 1Σg + state.
