To date, the only quantum-mechanically accurate direct-potential-fit (DPF) analysis for one of these molecules was the one for LiH reported by Coxon and Dickinson.\ {\bf 121}, 8378 (2004).} The present paper extends this level of analysis to NaH, and reports a DPF analysis of all available spectroscopic data for the $A\,^1\Sigma^+-X\,^1\Sigma^+$ system of NaH which yields analytic potential energy functions for these two states that account for those data (on average) to within the experimental uncertainties. en_US dc.language.iso en en_US dc.publisher Ohio State University en_US dc.title A DPF ANALYSIS YIELDS QUANTUM MECHANICALLY ACCURATE ANALYTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY FUNCTIONS FOR THE $A\,^1\Sigma^+$ and $X\,^1\Sigma^+$ STATES OF NaH en_US dc.type Article en_US dc.type Image en_US dc.type Presentation en_US
