Energy states of some diatomic molecules: Exact quantization rule approach

Abstract

In this study, we obtain the approximate analytical solutions of the radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the Deng-Fan diatomic molecular potential by using exact quantization rule approach. The wave functions have been expressed by hypergeometric functions via the functional analysis approach. An extension to rotational-vibrational energy eigenvalues of some diatomic molecules are also presented. It is shown that the calculated energy levels are in good agreement with the ones obtained previously $E_{n\ell}-D$ (shifted Deng-Fan).
