title: Theoretical Study of the Electronic States of the Rb(2) Molecule.
abstract: We have calculated the electronic states of Rb(2) by multireference configuration interactions using the averaged relativistic effective small-core potential and the core-polarization potential. The potential energy curves for a large number of states dissociating into from 5s+5s up to 7s+5s asymptotic limits are calculated and the spectroscopic constants are reported. The spin-orbit effects for the states dissociating into 5p+5s and 4d+5s are calculated using the effective spin-orbit potential. The results are compared with available experimental data and other theoretical works. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
