Abstract

The electronic spectra of light one-electron quasi-molecular compounds H-H$^+$, He$^+$-He$^2+$ and He$^+$-H$^+$ are analyzed. To this end, the two-center Dirac equation is solved by the dual-kinetically balanced finite-basis-set method for axially symmetric systems termed as A-DKB. This method allows a complete relativistic consideration of these systems at fixed internuclear distances. A comparison of the obtained results with the nonrelativistic and relativistic calculations presented in the literature is performed. The advantages and disadvantages of the approach are discussed in details.
