[CHM 331] The alpha in the Morse potential

[Andrew J. Pounds]

In your textbook the term alpha is used in the exponent of the Morse 
potential.  You can come up with the value of $\alpha$ through a little 
bit of derivation, but I'll save you the time.

$\alpha = \frac{\tilde{\nu}_e}{\sqrt{\frac{\hbar D_e}{\pi c \mu}}}$
