Abstract
We have theoretically investigated the thermodynamic properties of diatomic molecules using shifted Deng-Fan potential. To this end, we have solved the Schrödinger eq. (SE) with the oscillator potential applying the Nikiforov-Uvarov method and have obtained energy eigenvalues. Using calculated eigenvalues, we have determined partition function and thermodynamic properties of diatomic molecules such as H2, HCl and LiH. We have obtained the properties like mean energy, specific heat in constant volume, entropy and free energy. Also, we have calculated specific heat in constant pressure, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy of the molecules and compared our calculated data with experimental data. Our results show that there is a good agreement between them. We have determined average deviations of our results and experimental data.
