✦ Synopsis

In this paper we use a zero-range potential (ZRP) method to model positron interaction with molecules. This allows us to investigate the effect of molecular vibrations on positron-molecule annihilation using the van der Waals dimer Kr 2 as an example. We also use the ZRP to explore positron binding to polyatomics and examine the dependence of the binding energy on the size of the molecule for alkanes. We find that a second bound state appears for a molecule with ten carbons, similar to recent experimental evidence for such a state emerging in alkanes with twelve carbons.

We have used the experimental value of the first special transition from molecular beam studies of Cd0 to determine the one parameter in a semi-empirical method that couples zero-range potentials with the free electron method. The method then allows the estimation of three other spectral transition

The properties of the long-range part of the previously suggested generalized potential energy function and Coulomb-subtracted generalized potential energy function have been investigated. It is demonstrated that these empirical functions can correctly reproduce the long-range part of the diatomic p
