In this letter we demonstrate universal symmetry breaking by means of magnetically induced circular dichroism. Magnetic field induces forbidden at zero field atomic transitions between $Delta F = pm2$ hyperfine levels. In a particular range of magnetic field, intensities of these transitions experience significant enhancement. We have deduced a general rule applicable for the $D_2$ lines of all bosonic alkali atoms, that is transition intensity enhancement is larger for the case of $sigma^+$ than for $sigma^-$ excitation for $Delta F = +2$, whereas it is larger (e.g. up to $10^{11}$ times for $^{85}$Rb atoms) in the case of $sigma^-$ than for $sigma^+$ polarization for $Delta F = -2$. This asymmetric behaviour results in an explicit circular dichroism. For experimental verification we employed half-wavelength-thick atomic vapor nanocells using a derivative of selective reflection technique, which provides sub-Doppler spectroscopic linewidth ($sim$50 MHz). The presented theoretical curves well describe the experimental results. This effect can find applications particularly in parity violation experiments.
We study the effect of an applied magnetic field on the nonequilibrium transport properties of a general cubic quantum network described by a tight-binding Hamiltonian with specially designed couplings to the leads that preserve open-system symmetrie
We investigate the differential ionization probability of chiral molecules in the strong field regime as a function of the helicity of the incident light. To this end, we analyze the fourfold ionization of bromochlorofluoromethane (CHBrClF) with subs
Diffusion of particles has wide repercussions ranging from particle-based soft matter systems to solid state systems with particular electronic properties. Recently, in the field of magnetism, diffusion of magnetic skyrmions, topologically stabilized
We present measurements of the circular dichroism of optically pumped Rb vapor near the D1 resonance line. Collisions with the buffer gases $^3$He and N$_2$ reduce the transparency of the vapor, even when fully polarized. We use two methods to measur
Recent measurements in paramagnetic molecules improved the limit on the electron electric dipole moment (EDM) by an order of magnitude. Time-reversal (T) and parity (P) symmetry violation in molecules may also come from their nuclei. We point out tha
