DOPI: triatomic ro-vibrational program package


DOPI computes ro-vibrational energy levels and wave functions of triatomic molecules. It is based on:
• Discrete variable representation (D)
• Sutcliffe–Tennyson Hamiltonian expressed in orthogonal (O) internal coordinates
• Direct-product basis (P)
• Iterative (I) eigensolver

MARVEL: Measured Active Vibrational Rotational Energy Levels


MARVEL computes ro-vibrational energy levels and their uncertainties from uniquely assigned measured transitions. The key steps of the MARVEL procedure are:
• Collection and critical evaluation of the measured, assigned transitions and their uncertainties
• Determination of tcomponents of the spectroscopic network (SN)
• Inversion of the transitions through a weighted least-squares-type procedure
