Abstract

A new approach for solving the continuum wave functions in a multicenter molecular potential is proposed. The method employs a composite basis of continuum functions and multicentered Slater type orbitals (STO). The continuum wave functions are solved using a least squares technique adapted to find the K-normalized continuum wave functions directly. The method is tested for the central exponential, Yukawa and Coulombic potential as well as for the molecular system H
