We discuss the proposal of Freedman, Ringo and Dombeck [1] to search for the neutron electric dipole moment using the acceleration of neutrons in an inhomogeneous electric field followed by amplification of the resulting displacement by several methods involving spin independent interactions (gravity) or reflection from curved (spin independent) mirrors.

The Ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectra of toluene, ortho-bromo and para-bromo toluene in different solvents have been studied. The electric dipole moments and polarizabilities in the molecular excited electronic states were determined. It was found that the electric dipole moments for the excited states (µ*) and the ground states (µ) of these compounds are equal, and the change in dipole moment i...

We show that there is an analogous Aharonov-Casher topological effect on a neutral particle with electric dipole moment interacting with a magnetic field produced by magnetic monopoles.

Molecular dynamics simulations of the response to oscillating electric field elicited from an altitudinal dipolar molecular rotor mounted on the Au(111) surface and previously studied experimentally in static fields show unidirectional rotation in one of the three pairs of conformational enantiomers. The simulations are based on the universal force field and take into account electronic frictio...

Parity and time invariance violating (P, T-odd) nuclear forces produce P, T-odd nuclear moments. In turn, these moments can induce electric dipole moments (EDMs) in atoms through the mixing of electron wavefunctions of opposite parity. The nuclear EDM is screened by atomic electrons. The EDM of an atom with closed electron subshells is induced by the nuclear Schiff moment. Previously the intera...

It is shown that Einstein gravity tends to modify the electric and magnetic fields appreciably at distances of the order of the Compton wavelength. At that distance the gravitational field becomes spin dominated rather than mass dominated. The gravitational field couples to the electromagnetic field via the EinsteinMaxwell equations which in the simplest model causes the electrostatic field of ...
