29. The three harmonic potentials have equal force constants (the harmonic approximation of the ground potential of Na2) and are displaced by 1.5 a.u. The model uses the Na2 mass as well. Details on the Hamiltonian and numerical method used for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation are given in B. Y. Chang, I. R. Sola, V. S. Malinovsky, and J. Santamaría, J. Chem. Phys. 113, 4901 (2000).
30. g states are, respectively, 5.84, 6.89, and 8.7 a.u. The widths of the ground vibrational wave function for each of these potentials are 0.182, 0.212, and 0.353 a.u. The electronic potentials (and dipole functions) are obtained from I. Schmidt, Ph.D. thesis, Kaiserlautern University, 1987.
