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 plus/minus 5% for Fr and 260 plus/minus 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.

Polyatomic polar molecules are promising systems for future experiments that search for violation of time-reversal and parity symmetries due to their advantageous electronic and vibrational structure, which allows laser cooling, full polarisation of
the molecule, and reduction of systematic effects [I. Kozyryev and N.R. Hutzler, Phys, Rev. Lett. {bf 119}, 133002 (2017)]. In this work we investigate the enhancement factor of the electric dipole moment of the electron ($E_text{eff}$) in the triatomic monohydroxide molecules BaOH and YbOH within the high-accuracy relativistic coupled cluster method. The recommended $E_text{eff}$ values of the two systems are 6.65 $pm$ 0.15 GV/cm and 23.4 $pm$ 1.0 GV/cm, respectively. We compare our results with similar calculations for the isoelectronic diatomic molecules BaF and YbF, which are currently used in experimental search for $P,T$-odd effects in molecules. The $E_text{eff}$ values prove to be very close, within about 1.5 $%$ difference in magnitude between the diatomic and the triatomic compounds. Thus, BaOH and YbOH have a similar enhancement of the electron electric dipole moment, while benefiting from experimental advantages, and can serve as excellent candidates for next-generation experiments.
The relativistic coupled-cluster (RCC) method is a powerful many-body method, particularly in the evaluation of electronic wave functions of heavy atoms and molecules, and can be used to calculate various atomic and molecular properties. One such ato
mic property is the enhancement factor (R) of the atomic electric dipole moment (EDM) due to an electron EDM needed in electron EDM searches. The EDM of the electron is a sensitive probe of CP-violation, and its search could provide insights into new physics beyond the Standard Model, as well as open questions in cosmology. Electron EDM searches using atoms require the theoretical evaluation of R to provide an upper limit for the magnitude of the electron EDM. In this work, we calculate R of 210Fr in the ground state using an improved RCC method, and perform an analysis on the many-body processes occurring within the system. The RCC method allows one to capture the effects of both the electromagnetic interaction and P- and T-violating interactions, and our work develops this method beyond what had been implemented in the previous works. We also perform calculations of hyperfine structure constants, electric dipole transition matrix elements, and excitation energies, to assess the accuracy of R and the success of our improved method. Finally, we present calculations of R with corrections due to Breit interaction effects, approximate quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects, and some leading triple excitation terms added perturbatively, to assess how significantly these terms contribute to the result. We obtain a final value of R = 799, with an estimated 3% error, which is about 11% smaller than a previously reported theoretical calculation.
Heavy polar diatomic molecules are the primary tools for searching for the T-violating permanent electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM). Valence electrons in some molecules experience extremely large effective electric fields due to relativist
ic interactions. These large effective electric fields are crucial to the success of polar-molecule-based eEDM search experiments. Here we report on the results of relativistic ab initio calculations of the effective electric fields in a series of molecules that are highly sensitive to an eEDM, the mercury monohalides (HgF, HgCl, HgBr,and HgI). We study the influence of the halide anions on effective electric field, and identify HgBr and HgI as interesting candidates for future electric dipole moment search experiments.
We investigate the merits of a measurement of the permanent electric dipole moment of the electron ($e$EDM) with barium monofluoride molecules, thereby searching for phenomena of CP violation beyond those incorporated in the Standard Model of particl
e physics. Although the BaF molecule has a smaller enhancement factor in terms of the effective electric field than other molecules used in current studies (YbF, ThO and ThF$^+$), we show that a competitive measurement is possible by combining Stark-deceleration, laser-cooling and an intense primary cold source of BaF molecules. With the long coherent interaction times obtainable in a cold beam of BaF, a sensitivity of $5times10^{-30}$ e$cdot$cm for an $e$EDM is feasible. We describe the rationale, the challenges and the experimental methods envisioned to achieve this target.
Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of fundamental particles such as the electron are signatures of parity and time-reversal violation due to physics beyond the standard model. EDM measurements probe new physics at energy scales well beyond the
reach of present-day colliders. Recent advances in assembling molecules from ultracold atoms have opened up new opportunities for improving the reach of EDM experiments. But better measurement techniques, that are not limited by the magnetic field sensitivity of such molecules, are necessary before these opportunities can be fully exploited. We present a technique that takes advantage of magnetically-insensitive hyperfine clock transitions in polar molecules, and offers new ways to improve both the precision and accuracy of EDM searches with ultracold assembled molecules.
