Comment on Universal Reduced Potential Function for Diatomic Systems

General Physics 2026-05-07 v2

Abstract

First principles prove why a recent claim by R.H. Xie and P.S. Hsu (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 243201 (2006)) on the scaling power of a covalent Sutherland parameter to expose a universal function cannot be validated.
