This study uses the complete active-space self-consistent field level of theory, followed by the multireference configuration interaction method with Davidson correction (+Q). The potential energy and dipole moment curves and the spectroscopic constants are computed for the low-lying doublet and quartet electronic states in the 2S+1\u039b\u00b1 and \u03a9(\u00b1) representations. The transition dipole moments, the Franck\u2013Condon factors, the Einstein coefficient, the radiative lifetimes, the vibrational branching ratio, and the slowing distance are determined between the lowest spin\u2013orbit bound electronic states. These results show that the molecule AlZn has a high potential for laser cooling through the X2\u03a01\/2 \u2192 (2)2\u03a01\/2 transition by utilizing four lasers at a wavelength in the ultraviolet region, reaching a sub-microkelvin temperature limit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/5.0232515","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,18]],"date-time":"2024-10-18T10:12:03Z","timestamp":1729246323000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Theoretical spin\u2013orbit laser cooling for AlZn molecule"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"161","author":[{"given":"Farah","family":"Rabah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science, Beirut Arab University 1 , P.O.
