Abstract
Correlation, relativistic and adiabatic corrections are computed for the electronic ground state of the hydrogen molecule for r ≤ 12 a.u. In contrast to previous calculations (based on the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation, mainly done by Wolniewicz et al.), our results are based on the ordinary ab initio treatment using a four-component wave function with fully relativistically reoptimized basis sets and adiabatic corrections by the treatment developed in our laboratory. The calculated energies are fitted to the polynomial/exponential analytical function and the evaluated spectroscopic parameters are compared with those obtained in the same manner from the Wolniewicz data. The results presented show a good agreement with exact numerical calculations published previously.
