In the present study, the improved screened Kratzer potential (ISKP) is investigated in the presence of external magnetic and Aharanov-Bohm (AB) fields within the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The Schrodinger equation is solved via the Nikiforov-Uvarov Functional Analysis (NUFA) method and the energy spectra and the corresponding wave function for the ISKP in the presence of external magnetic fields are obtained in a closed form. The obtained energy spectra are used to study some selected diatomic molecules. It is observed that the present of the magnetic and AB fields removes the degeneracy for different values of the control parameter. The thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the ISKP in the present of the magnetic and AB fields are also evaluated. The effects of the control potential parameter on the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the selected diatomic molecules are discussed.

In this study, the impacts of TD on the energy spectra and thermal properties of LiH, TiC and I2 diatomic molecules is considered. The Schrodinger equation in cosmic string spacetime is solved with the generalized Morse potential using the well-known (NU) method. The energy spectra and eigenfunction are obtained respectively. The energy spectra is used to obtain the partition function which is then used to evaluate the thermal properties of the system is evaluated accordingly. We find that the energy spectra in the presence of the TD differ from their flat Minkowski spacetime analogue. The effects of the deformation parameter and TD on the thermal properties of the system is also analysed in detail. We observe that the specific heat capacity of the system tends to exhibit quasi-saturation as the deformation parameter and topological defect approaches unity. The results of our study can be applied in the astrophysical situation where these modifications exist in the understanding of spectroscopical data and it may be used as a probe of the presence of a cosmic string or a global monopole in the Universe.
