The effects of the curvature parameters on the energy eigenvalues and thermodynamic properties of quantum pseudoharmonic oscillator are investigated within the framework of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. By employing Nikiforov-Uvarov method, the energy spectra are obtained and used to study the ordinary statistics and q-deformed superstatistics as a function of temperature in the presence and absence of the curvature parameters. It is shown that the q-deformed supertatistics properties of the quantum pseudoharmonic oscillator reduce to the ordinary statistical properties in the absence of the deformation parameter.

By employing the dissociation energy and equilibrium bond length as explicit parameters, we obtained the improved generalized Mobius square potential (IGMSP) model. We also defined the IGMSP parameters in terms of the molecular spectroscopic parameters. The IGMSP has been used to model inter-nuclear interaction potential curves for different diatomic hydrides.

We solved the Schrödinger equation with the modified Mobius square potential model using the modified factorization method. Within the framework of the Greene-Aldrich approximation for the centrifugal term and using a suitable transformation scheme, we obtained the energy eigenvalues equation and the corresponding eigenfunction in terms of the hypergeometric function. Using the resulting eigenvalues equation, we calculated the vibrational partition function and other relevant thermodynamic properties.
