Abstract
We apply our recently proposed proper quantization rule, \({\int_{x_A}^{x_B}k(x) dx -\int_{x_{0A}}^{x_{0B}}k_0(x) dx=n\pi}\) , where \({k(x)=\sqrt{2 M [E-V(x) ]}/\hbar}\) to obtain the energy spectrum of the modified Rosen-Morse potential. The beauty and symmetry of this proper rule come from its meaning—whenever the number of the nodes of \({\phi(x)}\) or the number of the nodes of the wave function ψ(x) increases by one, the momentum integral \({\int_{x_A}^{x_B} k(x)dx}\) will increase by π. Based on this new approach, we present a vibrational high temperature partition function in order to study thermodynamic functions such as the vibrational mean energy U, specific heat C, free energy F and entropy S. It is surprising to note that the specific heat C (k = 1) first increases with β and arrives to the maximum value and then decreases with it. However, it is shown that the entropy S (k = 1) first increases with the deepness of potential well λ and then decreases with it.
