Duo requires user-specified potential energy curves and, if relevant, dipole moment, coupling and correction curves. From these it computes energy levels, line positions and line intensities. Several analytic forms plus interpolation and extrapolation options are available for representation of the curves. Duo can refine potential energy and coupling curves to best reproduce reference data such as experimental energy levels or line positions. Duo is provided as a Fortran 2003 program and has been tested under a variety of operating systems.
Program title:Duo

No. of lines in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 187443
No. of bytes in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 6968371
Distribution format: tar.gz
Programming language: Fortran 2003.
Computer: Any personal computer.
Operating system: Linux, Windows, Mac OS.
Has the code been vectorized or parallelized?: Parallelized
RAM: Case dependent, typically < 10 MB
Classification: 4.3, 4.9, 16.2, 16.3.
Nature of problem: Solving the Schrödinger equation for the nuclear motion of a diatomic molecule with an arbitrary number and type of couplings between electronic states.
Solution method: Solution of the uncoupled problem first, then basis set truncation and solution of the coupled problem. A line list can be computed if a dipole moment function is provided. The potential energy and other curves can be empirically refined by fitting to experimental energies or frequencies, when provided.
Restrictions: The current version is restricted to bound states of the system.
Unusual features: User supplied curves for all objects (potential energies, spin–orbit and other couplings, dipole moment etc.) as analytic functions or on a grid is a program requirement.
Running time: Case dependent. The test runs provided take seconds or a few minutes on a normal PC.
