[en] The equilibrium geometry, harmonic frequency and dissociation energy of the molecule LaF have been calculated on several kinds of computation levels with energy-consistent relativistic effective core potentials and valence basis sets including polarization functions 4f2g and diffuse functions 1s1p1d. The possible electronic state and its reasonable dissociation limit for the ground state of LaF are determined based on Atomic and Molecular Reaction Statics (AMRS). The potential energy curve scan for the ground state X¹Σ⁺ has been carried out with B3LYP method of density functional theory. Murrell-Sorbie analytic potential energy function and its Dunham expansion around equilibrium position have been also derived with a nonlinear least-square fit. The calculated spectroscopic constants are in good agreement with the experimental results of vibrational spectra. The analytical function obtained here is of great realistic importance due to its use in calculating fine transitional structure of vibrational spectra and the reaction dynamic process between atoms and molecules
