Description
Summary:The elastic scattering properties for collisions between ultracold 23Na and 39K atoms in the singlet state are investigated. Based on the recent theoretical and experimental results, the improved hybrid potential is presented for the singlet X1Σg＋ ground state of NaK. By means of the Numerov and semiclassical methods, the values of the s-wave scattering length a for the singlet state are calculated to be 33.3757a0 and 37.9399a0, respectively. Pronounced shape resonances appear for the l = 1 partial wave for the X1Σg＋ state. In addition, the s-wave scattering cross section, total cross section and energy positions of shape resonances for the X1Σg＋ state are discussed.
