Abstract

By using a complex, scaled Hamiltonian for an atomic or molecular system the wavefunction of a shape resonance can be made square integrable. An alternative approach involves the use of a real Hamiltonian and complex basis functions to achieve the same result. We have used the complex self-consistent field method to study the $^{2}\sum_{u}$ resonance in $e^{-}-H_{2}$ scattering and have obtained the potential energy curve over a range of internuclear distances including the transition region between the resonance and the bound $H_{2}^{-}$ states.
