Abstract In this study, the effects of Aharonov-Bohm (AB) and magnetic fields on the thermodynamic and magneto-transport properties of TiH diatomic molecule using the Deng-Fan potential as a model are investigated. The functional analysis approach (FAA) is used to solve the Schrodinger equation in the presence of magnetic and AB fields with Deng-Fan potential. The energy equation, as well as the wave function, have been derived. The analytic expressions for the thermo-magnetic and transport properties of the Deng-Fan potential are derived using the energy equation and the partition function. These properties obtained are thoroughly analysed utilising graphical representations. Our analysis shows that the magnetic susceptibility of the TiH exhibits a diamagnetic behaviour, and the specific heat capacity behaviour agrees with the famous Dulong-Petit law when the system is subjected to AB field variations and a fixed magnetic field. Albeit, a slight anomaly is observed in the behaviour of the specific heat capacity. Our findings will be valuable in various fields of physics, including chemical and molecular physics and condensed matter physics, where the derived models could be applied to study other diatomic molecules and quantum dots, respectively.
