Abstract
A new oscillator model has been proposed by introducing some modifications in the Morse potential function. Its efficacy is tested by taking a number of electronic states of diatomic molecules. For comparison the Hulbert-Hirschfelder model potential is also used. A new approximation method to find the vibrational eigenfunctions suitable for the new oscillator model has been reported. Langer’s method has been used to determine the wavefunctions. Franck-Condon factors andr-centroids are reported for the observed bands ofD 1Π —X 1Σ system of SnO molecule.
