Potential energy curve for the excited valence states of Mg2

Figure 1

Figure 1. Potential energy curve for the excited valence states of Mg2. The dashed portions of the 1Pig and 2 1Sigmag+ curves indicate regions that have not been investigated directly, but are estimated by joining known short-range and long-range behavior.

Figure 2. Excited triplet and singlet potential curves of the Mg2 dimer dissociating to 3P + 1S and 1P + 1S asymptotics as a function of internuclear separation obtained by ab initio complete-active-space and coupled-cluster method.
