Rovibrational computations for He$_2^+$ X$^+\ Σ_\mathrm{u}^+$ including non-adiabatic, relativistic and QED corrections (2506.19120v1)
Published 23 Jun 2025 in physics.chem-ph
Abstract: We report the potential energy curve, the diagonal Born-Oppenheimer, non-adiabatic mass, relativistic, and leading-order QED corrections for the ground electronic state of the helium dimer cation; the higher-order QED and finite-nuclear size effects are also estimated. The computations are carried out with an improved error control and over a much broader configuration range compared to earlier work [D. Ferenc, V. I. Korobov, and E. M\'atyus, Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 213001 (2020)]. As a result, all rovibrational bound states are reported with an estimated accuracy of 0.005 cm${-1}$.
