摘要：

Long range intermolecular interaction potential surface of CaF (2Σ+) was simulated by employing the MOLPRO program and using the RCCSD(T)/def2-TZVP theory. The predicted data were further fitted to obtain the collision cross-section. The elastic collision cross-section of CaF at the temperature around 2 mK is as high as 6.5×10-9 cm2 and the collision rate is over 4.1×106 Hz. Additionally, we found that an orientation electric field will simplify the intermolecular interaction potential function from quaternary into ternary and the collision cross-section will be raised by about three orders. All-optical evaporative cooling of cold CaF is discussed in the conclusion.
