The energy-level splittings of the 5f{sup 7} nominal {sup 8}S{sub 7/2} ground-state of Am{sup 2+} in an octahedral site of CaF{sub 2} were studied using ab initio quantum chemical methods. The CaF{sub 2} host was modeled with a large finite cluster of ions which approximate the Madelung potential of the crystal lattice. The potential energy curve for the symmetric stretch of the nearest-neighbor fluoride ions was calculated. The actinide dopant was treated with relativistic core potentials and Gaussian double-zeta basis sets.
