Ab-initio calculations of the electronic structure of the alkaline earth hydride anions XH− (X = Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) toward laser cooling experiment

By the use of the ab initio CASSCF/(MRCI+Q) calculations in the representation 2s+1Λ(+/-), the adiabatic potential energy curves and the dipole moment curves of the low lying states of the alkaline earth hydride anions (MgH-, CaH-, SrH- and BaH-) have been investigated in their singlet and triplet multiplicities. The spectroscopic parameters Te, Re, ωe, Be, αe, the dipole moment μe, and the dissociation energy De have been also calculated for...
