(a) The potential energy curves of for N₂ and for calculated from CCSD(T), with equilibrium position R _e = 1.0977 Å. (b) Vertical ionization energy curves for N₂ molecules calculated by our method, as well as those from Morse and Murrell–Sorbie potentials and vibrational populations for different levels.
