Although the experiments on the material of this work were performed with initial elastic deformation, the degree of
anharmonicity increases with increasing bending according to (1) (Figure 8).
where x is
anharmonicity factor and n is the integer vibration quantum number.
Since tunnelling effects can be safely neglected for a single-well potential, we can make unambiguous manifestation of an effect of
anharmonicity in the confining potential on differences between computational results obtained from the two distinct hybrid schemes.

anharmonicity, and stability," Physical Review B, vol.
Ab initio calculations follow the approximation that the chemical bonds are elastic, but it is not the case especially at higher range of frequencies due to
anharmonicity of vibrations [7].

It is well known that calculated Hartree-Fock (HF) IR spectra must be scaled to account for the effects of
anharmonicity and correlation.
This is due to the deficiency of the electron-electron interaction considered and the neglect of
anharmonicity when calculating the vibrational frequencies, and the experimental data are almost adjusted with the simulated one using the scaling factors [9-11].
It covers the basis required for quantum oscillator studies, single quantum harmonic oscillators,
anharmonicity, oscillator populations in thermal equilibrium, quantum normal modes of vibration, damped harmonic oscillators, and vibrational spectroscopy.
