Abstract

For any n and l values, we present a simple exact analytical solution of the radial Schrodinger equation for the Kratzer potential within the framework of the asymptotic iteration method (AIM). The exact bound-state energy eigenvalues (E-nl) and corresponding eigenfunctions (R-nl) are calculated for various values of n and l quantum numbers for CO, NO, O-2, and I-2 diatomic molecules.
