Abstract. In this paper, the energy spectra of the general molecular potential are obtained using the asymptotic
iteration method within the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics.With the energy spectrum obtained,
the vibrational partition function is calculated in a closed form and is used to obtain an expression for other
thermodynamic functions such as vibrational mean energy U , vibrational mean free energy F, vibrational entropy
S and vibrational specific heat capacity C. These thermodynamic functions are studied for the electronic state X1 g+
of K 2 diatomic molecules.
Keywords. Asymptotic iteration method; diatomic molecules; general molecular potential; partition function.
In order to evaluate partition function, we write the Pois- and erf(x) denotes the error function which is a special
son summation formula as [3,5,11], function of the sigmoid shape [8,9]. In Maple software
the imaginary error function is given as erfi(x) and can

Also, we have plotted the exact, semiclassical partition

4. Discussions
In this paper, we consider electronic state of the potas- The experimental values of X1 g+ states of potas-
sium dimer K 2 (X1 g+ ) molecules using the energy sium (K 2 ) dimer are taken from ref. [19]: De =
eigenvalues of eq. (15). We take into account the GMP 4400.00 cm−1 , re = 3.9244 A, α = 0.0562×103 cm−1
with the following potential parameters as [16] and μ = 19.4800 U. Now using these experimental data
as our input, we plot the vibrational partition function for
A + q̃C 2 = De ,
the X1 g+ states of K 2 for various upper bound vibration
(B + 2q̃C D) = 2De , quantum number νmax = 25, 50 and 75 and temper-
