Abstract

Simple ways of modeling the gas-phase potentials of rare gas Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe dimers are proposed to describe solid matrices and atomic and molecular systems isolated in them. The fitting parameters for Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe, based on the reproduction of the lattice structural parameter and energy of atomization, were calculated. The resulting effective solid-state potentials of inert gas dimers were applied to the problem of modeling the sodium atom captured by argon matrix. The effect of solid-state modification on the geometries of stable trapping sites and on the shifts and shapes of the calculated electronic absorption spectrum of the Na@Ar system was investigated. It is shown that using the effective solid-state potentials can improve the agreement with experimental values.
