Theoretical Study of the CsNa Molecule: Adiabatic and Diabatic Potential Energy and Dipole Moment N. Mabrouk† and H. Berriche*,†,‡ †

Laboratoire des Interfaces et Matériaux Avancés, Département de Physique, Faculté des Sciences de Monastir, Avenue de l’Environnement 5019 Monastir, Tunisia ‡ Mathematics and Natural Sciences Department, School of Arts and Sciences, American University of Ras Al Khaimah, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE ABSTRACT: The adiabatic and diabatic potential energy curves of the low-lying electronic states of the NaCs molecule dissociating into Na (3s, 3p) + Cs (6s, 6p, 5d, 7s, 7p, 6d, 8s, 4f) have been investigated. The molecular calculations are performed using an ab initio approach based on nonempirical pseudopotential, parametrized l-dependent polarization potentials and full configuration interaction calculations through the CIPCI quantum chemistry package. The derived spectroscopic constants (Re, De, Te, ωe, ωexe, and Be) of the ground state and lower excited states are compared with the available theoretical and experimental works. Moreover, accurate permanent and transition dipole moment have been determined as a function of the internuclear distance. The adiabatic permanent dipole moment for the first nine 1Σ+ electronic states have shown both ionic characters associated with electron transfer related to Cs+Na− and Cs−Na+ arrangements. By a simple rotation, the diabatic permanent dipole moment is determined and has revealed a linear behavior, particularly at intermediate and large distances. Many peaks around the avoided crossing locations have been observed for the transition dipole moment between neighbor electronic states. study of CsNa molecule is made by Igel-Mann et al.32 on the basis of pseudopotential and CI calculations. They determined, in their work, the spectroscopic constants for the ground state. Korek et al.24 have performed an ab initio calculation for CsNa. They have studied the potential energy curves for 8, 6, and 2 states of, respectively, 1,3Σ+, 1,3Π, and 1,3Δ symmetries. In a recent study30 this same group has realized a calculation using nonempirical pseudopotentials and taking into consideration the spin−orbit effect. Aymar and Dulieu31 have extensively investigated several alkali metal dimers. They have determined accurate potential energy curves and dipole moments of the lowest 1,3Σ+ states. Several experimental studies of CsNa have been performed. Haimberger et al.39 have reported the translationally cold CsNa molecules starting from a laser cooled atomic vapor of Na and Cs atoms. In another study40 the same team has investigated the formation of the CsNa molecule in its ground state from ultra cold atoms by photoassociation. Docenko et al.35 have investigated the X1Σ+ and a1Σ+ states using high resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The 1Π and B1Π states have been explored by Zaharova et al.41 using a dye laser for inducing fluorescence that was resolved by a high resolution Fouriertransform spectrometer. In another new study34 Zaharova by using the Fourier transform spectrometer with resolution of 0.03−0.05 cm−1 has measured the laser-induced fluorescence

1. INTRODUCTION An important theoretical and experimental effort has been devoted in the development of ultrashort and intense laser pulses during the past decade. This has opened a new research domain in molecular dynamics and molecular spectroscopy. Such an effort is motivated by the possible applications such as manipulation and controlling of ultracold chemical reactions,1−3 ultracold molecular collision dynamics,4−7 quantum computing,8,9 and experimental preparation of few-body quantum effects10 (such as Efimov states) where the aim is to prepare molecules in definite quantum states with respect to the center of mass, electronic, rotational, and vibrational motions.11 In addition, the long-range interaction will introduce new important physical phenomena. The theoretical investigation of the heteronuclear alkali diatomic molecule is encouraged by the pressing need for experimentalists as well as theorists for the simulation of the effect of the application of strong electric field on their rovibrational dynamics.12 In our group several theoretical studies of the electronic structure of these systems have been performed for CsLi,13,14 NaLi,15,16 RbLi,17 KLi and FrLi,18 and CsNa.19 Numerous other authors were interested in studying the heteronuclear alkali dimers using different quantum chemistry methods. They determined the potential energy of the ground and exited states for numerous alkali metal mixed molecules such as RbCs,20−22 NaRb and LiRb,23 CsNa, LiCs, and KCs,24 KRb,25 KLi,26 NaK,27,28 and NaLi.29 Several theoretical24,30−32 and experimental33−48 studies have been achieved for the CsNa molecule.

He has found about 1160 term values of the e-symmetry rovibronic levels of the fully mixed AΣ+1 and bΠ3 states of a NaCs molecule. In fact, the Zabawa team has made several studies on the formation of Ultra cold NaCs molecule. In 200842 they studied the collision between ultracold NaCs molecules and composite atoms. In 201043 they labeled several deeply bound vibrational quanta in the ground state of NaCs using pulsed laser depletion spectroscopy method. In the same year Zabawa et al.44 demonstrated that the photoassociation resonance detuned less than a wavenumber below the Cs 6 2P3/2 atomic line can be used to create a deeply bound molecular sample of ultracold polar NaCs. In 201145 the formation of ultracold X 1Σ+(v″=0) NaCs molecules via coupled photoassociation channels has been performed. In 201246 the same team presented the rovibrational cooling of translationally ultracold NaCs molecules using the broadband light for the vibrational cooling requires and narrow-line lasers for the rotational cooling. Haruza et al.47 presented the photoassociation channels associated with the A1Σ and b3Π electronic states of NaCs. They calculated dispersion coefficients and determined new b3ΠΩ=2 potential energy curve. Recently, Ashman48 have described a series of experiments designed to map out several electronic states of the NaCs molecule like 53Π and 11Σ +. This study completes our published work19 on the NaCs alkali dimer in the AIP Conference Proceedings as an extended abstract.19 In the latter we have reported only the spectroscopic data of the first nine 1Σ+ states. The used methodology and a generalization to the 3Σ+, 1,3Π and 1−31,3Δ symmetries are presented here in detail. In this context, we have investigated the adiabatic and diabatic potential energy curves of 1−91Σ+, 1−83Σ+, 1−61,3Π, and 1−31,3Δ states, which dissociate into Cs (6s, 6p, 5d, 7s, 7p, 6d, 8s, 4f) + Na (3s, 3p) atomic limits. In addition, the adiabatic and diabatic permanent dipole moment and the transition dipoles between neighbor states have been determined. This paper is organized as follows. In section 2, we summarize the ab initio and dibatisation methods used in our calculations. Section 3 is divided into three subsections. In the first subsection we present the potential energy curves and their spectroscopic constants for the ground and numerous excited states of 1,3Σ+, 1,3Π, and 1,3Δ symmetries. In the second and third subsections we report the adiabatic and diabatic permanent dipole moment, and the transition dipole moment between neighbor states. Finally, we conclude in section 4.

riλ and Rλ′λ are, respectively, the core−electron and core−core vectors. According to the formulation of Foucrault et al.59 the cut-off function F(riλ,ρλ) is taken as a function of the orbital angular momentum l. In this context, the interaction of valence electrons of different spatial symmetry with the core electrons is considered differently for each l. ∞

This will exclude the valence electrons from the core region for calculating the electric field. In the formalism of Müller et al.,58 the cutoff function is unique for each atom, which is adjusted to reproduce the lowest atomic energy levels. Additionally, the SCF (self consistent field) calculation is followed by a full CI (configuration interaction) using the CIPCI algorithm of the Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie Quantique of Toulouse. We have used a 8s/5p/5d/2f Gaussian basis set for the cesium atom, which is taken from ref 61, whereas for the Na we have used the same basis set of Gaussian-type orbital (GTO’s) 6s/5p/4d/2f as in our previous works.51−57 The core dipole polarizabilities of Cs+ and Na+ are respectively, 15.81 and 0.9930 au.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1. Adiabatic Potential Energy and Spectroscopic Constants. The adiabatic potential energy curves of 35 electronic states of 1,3Σ+, 1,3Π, and 1,3Δ symmetries have been determined for the CsNa molecular system dissociating into Na (3s, 3p) + Cs (6s, 6p, 5d, 7s, 7p, 6d, 8s, 4f) limits. The potential energy has were calculated for a dense and large grid of internuclear distances, which varies from 5 to 100 au. The potential energy curves of the 1Σ+, 3Σ+ 1,3Π, and 1,3Δ states are displayed, respectively, in Figures 1−4. A general undulations behavior is observed for the higher excited states. It leads, for several states, to double and triple wells and sometimes to barriers. We noticed also many avoided crossings. They can be explained by the ionic interaction between Cs+ and Na− and Cs− and Na+. To confirm the precision of our potential energy curves, we

have derived their spectroscopic constants Re, De, Te, ωe, ωexe and Be. They are compared in Tables 3−5 with the existing theoretical24,30−32 and experimental studies.34,36,38 We observe a very good agreement between our molecular constants and the theoretical and experimental ones. Our equilibrium distance for the ground state (Re = 3.804 Å) is in good accord with that of Docenko et al.36 and Korek et al.24 They found, respectively, 3.8506 and 3.813 Å. A similar good agreement is observed between our well depth De = 4994 cm−1, ωe = 98.04 cm−1 and those found by Korek et al.24 (De = 4923 cm−1, ωe = 99.97 cm−1) and Docenko et al.36 (De = 4954.24 cm−1). Korek et al.30 in a new study of this molecule introducing the spin−orbit effect found new values for Re = 3.769 Å and ωe = 101.9 cm−1.

The diabatization method has been tested, first, for the CsH molecule61 and applied later for LiH62,65,66 and RbH67 and more recently for CsNa19 molecules. This diabatization technique can be considered, at present, to be the most effective for molecular ab initio calculations. The origin of the molecule is taken on the heavier atom, the Cs atom. The reference states are fixed as the adiabatic ones at large internuclear distance, here R = 100 au. Figure 5 presents the diabatic potential energy curves for the 1−9 1Σ+ adiabatic states and they are named D1−9. We notice that the first diabatic curve called D1, which dissociates into Cs+Na−, crosses all the neutral states at different internuclear distances. The crossing happens with the Na(3s) + Cs(6s) state around 11.02 au and with Na(3s) + Cs(6p) state around 17.85 au. The remaining crossings arise at much longer distances. The D1 state exhibits an ionic character, Cs+Na−, and the real crossings in the diabatic representation are transformed into avoided crossings in the adiabatic. The ionic curve kindly behaves as 1/R at large distances, with some corrections proportional to 1/R4 corresponding to Na− dipolar polarization and also, but to a minor extent, to core−valence corrections. We observe the existence of another ionic associated with the Cs−Na+ ionic character. The potential energy curve of this state crosses higher neutral excited states at shorter distances. These crossings turn into avoided crossings in the adiabatic representation. The diabatic potential energy curves for the 1−8 3Σ+, 1−6 1Π, 1−6 3Π, 1−3 1Δ and 1−3 3Δ states are presented in Figure 6−10, respectively. The same feature is observed for the diabatic potential energy curves of 3Σ+ (Figure 6) symmetry. There is, essentially, one potential curve D8, which cross the others curves at intermediate and large internuclear distance. For example, the curve called D8 crosses D4 at 12.51 and at 15.81 au and D5 at 17.78 au and D6 at 21.77 au and D7 at 22.78 au. It seems that these curves, as observed for the symmetry, correspond to the ionic characters related to Cs+Na−. The ionic curve D8 encloses all other curves, except the D1 as it is repulsive. The same thing is observed for the diabatic potential curves of the other symmetries. Such real crossings are transformed into avoided ones in the adiabatic representation. The repulsive feature of the diabatic potential energy curves at short distances can be explained by the penetration of the Rydberg orbitals by the cesium atom. It is polarized by the electric field created by the core Na+ and the other electron. In the Rydberg series, whereas these effects are not evidently apparent for the 3s orbital, because the 3s is a valence orbital; the attractive and repulsive interactions take place for the 3p state and beyond. For the higher states, the attractive effect is dominant because the Rydberg state is very diffuse and the potential energy curves become much more similar to the Na−Cs+ ones. The attractive character increases with l the orbital quantum number of the Rydberg state. This can be due to the increase of directionality of the corresponding orbital and the resulting field observed by the Cs atom. 3.3. Permanent and Transition Dipole Moments. Accurate electronic properties are necessary to predict the formation of cold and ultracold dipolar heteronuclear metal alkali dimers. In addition, their dipole function can be considered as a sensitive assessment for the accuracy of the determined energies and electronic wave functions. In this context, we have investigated the adiabatic and the diabatic permanent dipole moments for the same grid of internuclear distances (5−100 au). To understand the ionic character of the excited states, we have presented the adiabatic permanent dipole moment of the

the first time. Once more we remark the very good agreement with the theoretical work of Korek et al.24 This is not surprising as we use similar methods, which are pseudopotential and configuration interaction methods. For the 2 1Π state we obtained Re = 4.206 Å, Te = 18470 cm−1, ωe = 66.69 cm−1 to be compared with the results of Korek et al.,24 who obtained Re = 4.205 Å, Te = 18470 cm−1, ωe = 69.34 cm−1. In a recent experimental study of the 13Π state, Zaharova et al.34 obtained Re = 3.78 Å, Te = 10236.048 cm−1, De = 6081.142 cm−1, which are in good accord with our results: Re = 3.735 Å, Te = 10266 cm−1, De = 6276 cm−1. We report also in this paper the 1Δ and 3 Δ states. We remark that all these sates are attractive and exhibit well depths of some thousands of cm−1 in accord with the theoretical results of Korek et al.24 Avoided crossings have been located at large as well as at short distances for all these states. 3.2. Diabatic Potential Energy Curves. The diabatization technique has been presented in details in several works.62−64 Its application has shown its efficiency on several dimers such as LiH.61 Nevertheless, this study can be considered as the first application for the CsNa alkali diatomic molecule. In this subsection, we briefly present the outlines of the diabatization method, which is based on the effective Hamiltonian theory. The procedure is to cancel the numerical nonadiabatic coupling between the adiabatic states by an appropriate unitary transformation. Thus, it will lead to a unitary transformation matrix U, which when applied for each distance will provide us with the diabatic energy and wave functions. In this context, the diabatic wave functions are written as a linear combination of adiabatic states. In fact, the nonadiabatic coupling is strictly related to an overlap matrix between the R-dependent adiabatic multiconfigurational states and the reference states. The states correspond to a large distance fixed wave functions. 8831

Σ , 1,3Π, 1,3Δ symmetries states. Figure 11 presents the adiabatic permanent dipole moment of the 1−3 1Σ+ states. We remark that their dipole moment is insignificant and does not behave as a linear function of R. Figure 12 displays the permanent dipole moment for the 4−9 1Σ+ electronic states. We remark that the dipole moment of these states, one after another, behaves as a −R function and then drops to zero at specific internuclear distances, which correspond to the avoided crossings between the two neighbor molecular states. When these curves are combined, they produce piecewise the whole −R function, which is related to the ionic character of these states. The discontinuities between the consecutive parts are due to the avoided crossings and such nodes will disappear in the diabatic representation and will lead to a full linear curve corresponding to the dipole moment of the pure ionic state as it was observed previously for the LiH, RbH, and CsH

molecules.66,67,61 This observation is well demonstrated by Figure 13, which presents the diabatic permanent dipole moment of the 1−9 electronic 1Σ+ states. They are obtained by a simple rotation of the adiabatic dipole moment. In the diabatic scheme such nodes will disappear, and a full linear curve will appear. It corresponds to the pure ionic state dipole moment as it was demonstrated earlier in the LiH,66 RbH,67 and CsH61 molecules. The internuclear location when the two dipole moments of neighbor states are the same is correlated to the avoided crossing between them. For a better explanation, the dipole moment is calculated for a large number of internuclear distances particularly around the avoided crossing locations. The difference between two successive distances in this region is 0.01 au. This demonstrates the ionic arrangement and the long-range polar character of the excited states. The same ionic character was detected previously for the LiH66 molecule. But,

the linear comportment has taken place with the ground state X 1 + Σ in the LiH molecule. In fact, the LiH system is polar in its ground state in contrast to the CsNa. The LiH molecule has an important permanent dipole moment. In addition, the LiH permanent dipole has shown a pure linear feature in the first ionic diabatic state and quasi-zero for the higher neutral diabatic states. We remark that no second ionic curve appears clearly

either in the adiabatic and or in the diabatic representations. However, we notice that some adiabatic states exhibit also positive permanent dipole moment at short and intermediate distance. This is in addition to the negative one, which is the case for the 7, 8, and 9 1Σ+ states. This proves their inverse 8834

this range is negative. Accordingly, the both ionic character is proved for the higher excited states associated with two ionic charged arrangements, Cs+Na− and Cs−Na+. The permanent dipole moments are also determined for the remaining 3Σ+, 1Π, 3 Π, 1Δ, and 3Δ electronic states. As expected, the dipole moment of these states is not insignificant. It becomes much more significant for the higher excited states. This demonstrates once

more their ionic character. The permanent dipole moments of these states are presented in Figure 14−18. For example, Figure 18 presents the permanent dipole moment for the 1Δ and 3Δ studied states. We observe a significant dipole moment at intermediate distance. This range of distance corresponds to repulsive interactions in their deep potential wells. To understand the ionic character of the electronic states around the avoided crossings, we have performed the transition dipole moment between neighbor 1Σ+, 3Σ+, 1Π, 3Π, 1Δ, and 3Δ states. They are displayed in Figures 19−23. We detect many peaks positioned at specific distances very close to the avoided

crossings locations in the adiabatic representation. These positions were reported in Table 6. These accurate transition dipole moments will be used in the near future to evaluate the radiative lifetimes and for formation prediction of the CsNa alkali dimer via photoassociation.

4. CONCLUSION In this study, we have determined the potential energy, the spectroscopic properties and the dipole moment for 35 electronic states of the CsNa. These states dissociate into Na (3s, 3p) and Cs (6s, 6p, 5d, 7s, 7p, 6d, 8s, 4f) and lead 1−9 1Σ+, 8838

1−8 3Σ+, 1−6 1,3Π, and 1−3 1,3Δ symmetries. The used method is based on nonempirical pseudopotentials, parametrized l-dependent polarization potentials, and full valence CI calculations. The adiabatic potential energy curves, permanent and transition dipole moment have been performed for a large and dense grid of internuclear distances, which varies from 5 to 100 au. The spectroscopic constants have been extracted and compared with the available theoretical24,30−32 and experimental works.34,36,38 A very good accord is noticed with the results of Korek et al.24 for the ground state X1Σ+ and excited states. A similar agreement is also observed with the experimental studies of Docenko et al.36 and Diemer et al.38 Our results, for the 11Σ+ and 1 3Π states were compared with the very recent experimental work of Zaharova et al.34 This comparison has shown a good agreement for the equilibrium distance and well depth. However, our well depths for both states are underestimated by more than 195 cm−1 compared to the experimental ones. For a better understanding of the ionic character of the electronic states of this molecule, we have evaluated their permanent and transition dipole moments. The permanent dipole moment has shown, as it is expected, a linear behavior at intermediate and large distances mainly for the higher excited states. The permanent dipole moment of the 1−3 1Σ+ states is found to be insignificant, in contrast to that of the 4−9 1Σ+ higher states. Moreover, it behaves as −R, giving an important dipole moment, which corresponds to a longrange ionic character. We observed also for the same excited states a quasi-similar behavior at smaller distances but with positive permanent dipole moment. These negative and positive dipole moments are related to Cs+Na− and Cs−Na+ ionic charge arrangements of the excited states. For each ionic character a series of avoided crossings is observed between the neighbor states. Although the −R behavior of the dipole moment was observed previously for LiH, RbH, and CsH, the +R behavior is observed for the first time for NaLi in our previous work and in this present study on CsNa. To determine the diabatic states, a diabatization is realized using the effective Hamiltonian theory. The behavior of these diabatic states has revealed also an ionic character connected to the two ionic arrangements Cs+Na− and Cs−Na+. We have observed two different diabatic curves that crossed the neutral ones. These lead to two series of avoided crossings located at all ranges of distances. Such crossings turn out to be avoided crossings in the adiabatic representation. The same observation is seen for the diabatic states of other symmetries. The accurate potential energy data will be used for prediction simulation of the CsNa molecule at low temperature via photoassociation process, for radiative lifetime evaluation, radial coupling, vibronic shifts, and adiabatic energy correction.
