The electron electric dipole moment enhancement factors of Rubidium and Caesium atoms
نویسنده
چکیده
The enhancement factors of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the ground states of two paramagnetic atoms; rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs) which are sensitive to the electron EDM are computed using the relativistic coupled-cluster theory and our results are compared with the available calculations and measurements. The possibility of improving the limit for the electron EDM using the results of our present work is pointed out.

Intrinsic electric dipole moments of paramagnetic atoms: rubidium and cesium.
The electric dipole moment (EDM) of paramagnetic atoms is sensitive to the intrinsic EDM contribution from that of its constituent electrons and a scalar-pseudoscalar (S-PS) electron-nucleus interaction. The electron EDM and the S-PS contributions to the EDMs of these atoms scale as approximately Z;{3}. Thus, the heavy paramagnetic atoms will exhibit large EDM enhancement factors. However, the ...

If electrons had an electric dipole moment (EDM) they would induce EDMs of atoms. The ratio of the atomic EDM to the electron EDM for a particular atom is called the enhancement factor, R. We calculate the enhancement factor for the francium and gold atoms, with the results 910± ∼ 5% for Fr and 260± ∼ 15% for Au. The large values of these enhancement factors make these atoms attractive for elec...

Dipole-bound anions of 27 molecules containing either a carbonyl, nitrile, or sulfoxide group were studied using Rydberg electron transfer ~RET! reactions with rubidium atoms excited to ns S and nd D excited states. The electron affinity of each molecule was obtained from the Rydberg state, nmax * , that gave the largest negative ion yield using the empirical relationship electron affinity5 23/...
