55. For each set of points, a nonlinear least-squares fit to the functional form of a Rittner potential was performed. The difference between the best-fit Rittner function and the calculated points was obtained, and if any of these residuals exceeded ±0.01 eV,' a second nonlinear least-squares fit was performed using a function with properties that mimicked the variation observed in the residuals. The potential function used in the numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation was then the sum of the Rittner function and the residuals function.
