Abstract The potential energy curves (PECs) of the ground state ($^{3}\Pi )$ and three low-lying excited states ($^{1}\Sigma $, $^{3}\Sigma $, $^{ 1}\Pi )$ of CdSe dimer have been studied by employing quasirelativistic effective core potentials on the basis of the complete active space self-consistent field method followed by multireference configuration interaction calculation. The four PECs are fitted to analytical potential energy functions using the Murrel--Sorbie potential function. Based on the PECs, the vibrational levels of the four states are determined by solving the Schr?dinger equation of nuclear motion, and corresponding spectroscopic constants are accurately calculated. The equilibrium positions as well as the spectroscopic constants and the vibrational levels are reported. By our analysis, the $^{3}\Pi $ state, of which the dissociation asymptote is Cd($^{1}$S) + Se($^{3}$P), is identified as a ground state of CdSe dimer, and the corresponding dissociation energy is estimated to be 0.39\,eV. However, the first excited state is only 1132.49 cm$^{ - 1}$ above the ground state and the $^{3}\Sigma $ state is the highest in the four calculated states.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
