Study on potential energy curves and ro-vibrational energies of DT, HT and T2 molecules.

ABSTRACT

Accurately monitoring and effectively controlling the tritium compounds based on their ro-vibrational energy structure are important issues in various nuclear systems. Because of their radioactivity, it is difficult to obtain the corresponding energies directly through experiments. In this paper, the potential energy curves and the corresponding ro-vibrational full spectrum of DT, HT and T2 systems are derived by ab initio methods. However, it is difficult to verify the reliability of the calculated results due to the lack of direct experimental support. Therefore, a data-driven reliability analysis method is proposed, which can confirm the reliability by extracting information from the relevant calculations and multiple experimental data (the vibrational level, rotational level, and molar heat capacity) of similar systems (HD, H2, D2). The results show that 1) The potential energy curves obtained by the ab initio method can provide the full ro-vibrational energy spectrum with an accuracy of approximately 10 cm-1; 2) Macroscopic heat capacity information can be used to distinguish and calibrate the overall reliability of microscopic ro-vibrational energies; 3) For the isotopic energy level structure of hydrogen, the influence of isotopes is mainly mass effect.
