Model Potential Calculations for Various Electronic Excited States of Li^- and Na^-

Abstract

Energies and wave functions for the ground state and several excited electronic states are reported for Liand Nanegative ions. Calculations have been achieved in the framework of a model potential method using s, p, d, and f atomic Slater-type basis orbitals. The electronic correlation has been considered through configuration interaction calculations. Present results are compared with available experimental and theoretical data.
