The Effect of Anharmonicity on Diatomic Vibration: A Spreadsheet Simulation

Kieran () Lim and William F. Coleman

Instructors and students can use this spreadsheet to quickly and easily observe how the shape of a one-dimensional vibrational potential energy curve and its associated vibrational quantum energy levels depend on the anharmonicity. This illustrates the connection between the harmonic (approximation) and anharmonic descriptions of molecular vibrations.
