Enhancement factor for the electron electric dipole moment in francium and gold atoms
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 electron EDM measurements, and hence the search for time-reversal invariance violation. PACS number(s): 11.30.Er, 32.10.Dk, 14.60.Cd Typeset using REVTEX

متن کاملThe electron electric dipole moment enhancement factors of Rubidium and Caesium atoms
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...
متن کاملElectronic properties of Francium diatomic compounds and prospects for cold molecule formation
In this work we investigate the possibility to create cold Fr2, RbFr, and CsFr molecules through photoassociation of cold atoms. Potential curves, permanent and transition dipole moments for the Francium dimer and for the RbFr and RbCs molecules are determined for the first time. The Francium atom is modelled as a one valence electron moving in the field of the Fr core, which is described by a ...
متن کاملIntrinsic 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 ...
