Potential energy curves for the X /sup 1/ SIGMA +, A /sup 1/ SIGMA /sup +/, and B /su p 1/ II states of LiH were calculated from spectroscopic data by the Rydberg-Klein-Rees method. The results are in agreement with curves previously obtained by Crawford and Jorgensen and by Rosenbaum using different methods. As a check, the somewhat peculiar curve for the A /sup 1/ SIGMA /sup +/ state has also been calculated for LiD, snd agrees with the LiH curve to about one percent. The curves obtained theoretically by Karo and Olson for the X /sup 1/ SIGMA /sup +/ and A /sup 1/ SIGMA /sup +/ stat es are only in fair agreement with the experimental results. (auth)
