Electronic structure of He 2

The electronic structure of the He 2 − anion has been studied using optimized CI wavefunctions. We find that the 4Π g state of He 2 − is bound relative to the a 3Σ + u state of He 2, with a calculated electron affinity of 0.182 eV. Only the lowest vibrational level of this anion is stable relative t...

Summary:The electronic structure of the He 2 − anion has been studied using optimized CI wavefunctions. We find that the 4Π g state of He 2 − is bound relative to the a 3Σ + u state of He 2, with a calculated electron affinity of 0.182 eV. Only the lowest vibrational level of this anion is stable relative to the He 2(a 3Σ + u)+e continuum.
