Comment on ‘Thermodynamic relations and ro-vibrational energy levels of the improved Pöschl-Teller oscillator for diatomic molecules’
We argue that the canonical partition function derived by Eyube et al (2021 J. Phys. B 5 155102) is not correct because the authors did not take into account the contribution of the rotational degrees of freedom. Consequently, the thermodynamic functio…
