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...

Relativistic formulas for the electric quadrupole moment of a hydrogenlike atom, induced by the hyperfine interaction, are derived for ns and np1/2 states. Both the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole hyperfine interactions are taken into account. The formulas are valid for ions with arbitrary nuclear charge and spin. The induced quadrupole moment is compared with the nuclear quadrupole mom...

Figure 1: New system for trapping Francium an alkali, it is the heaviest atom in which the atomic properties can presently be calculated to better than 1%. The electron-nucleus interactions in heavy atoms are stronger than in lighter alkalis, and are more sensitive to weak interaction effects in nuclei, such as anapole moments, electric dipole moments and other parity violating effects. The abi...
