Radius of Convergence of the 1/Z-Expansion for Diatomic Molecules: The Ground State of the Isoelectronic H2 Sequence.
 


Abstract: Using the perturbational-variational Rayleigh-Ritz matrix formalism, the 1/Z-expansion for the ground state of the isoelectronic $H_2$ sequence in the range of the internuclear distance $0.2\le R \le 9.0$ is calculated. Also lower bounds of the radius of convergence, based on Katos theory of linear operators, are given. The numerical results of the 1/Z-expansion can be compared with the exact results and do not converge in the whole R-range. This behavior is in qualitative agreement with the lower bounds for the radius of convergence and enlights some still open properties of 1/Z- expansions for this sequence in the literature.
