We describe the first-principles design and subsequent synthesis of a new material with the specific functionalities required for a solid-state-based search for the permanent electric dipole moment of the electron. We show computationally that perovskite-structure europium barium titanate should exhibit the required large and pressure-dependent ferroelectric polarization, local magnetic moments, and absence of magnetic ordering even at liquid helium temperature. Subsequent synthesis and characterization of Eu$_{0.5}$Ba$_{0.5}$TiO$_3$ ceramics confirm the predicted desirable properties.

We present the result of an experiment to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron at the Paul Scherrer Institute using Ramseys method of separated oscillating magnetic fields with ultracold neutrons (UCN). Our measurement stands in th
e long history of EDM experiments probing physics violating time reversal invariance. The salient features of this experiment were the use of a Hg-199 co-magnetometer and an array of optically pumped cesium vapor magnetometers to cancel and correct for magnetic field changes. The statistical analysis was performed on blinded datasets by two separate groups while the estimation of systematic effects profited from an unprecedented knowledge of the magnetic field. The measured value of the neutron EDM is $d_{rm n} = (0.0pm1.1_{rm stat}pm0.2_{rm sys})times10^{-26}e,{rm cm}$.
The outstanding progress has been made in reducing the upper bounds on EDM of several particles. Even if significant challenges must be overcome to further improve these limits, it is still one of the best chances to detect new type of interactions b
eyond the standard model. Analyzing several examples, we highlight a common thread that is visible in different set-ups used for the EDM detection. The electric dipole moment is one of the clear consequences of CP- or T-violating interactions, however it is not the only one. These symmetry-violating interactions enable extra phenomena that unavoidably accompany the EDM-induced spin precession, and they must be taken into account in planning and executing sensitive experiments. After reviewing three typical cases, we suggest conditions for improving the sensitivity of detecting the intrinsic EDM.
We report on a new measurement of the CP-violating permanent Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) of the neutral $^{129}$Xe atom. Our experimental approach is based on the detection of the free precession of co-located nuclear spin-polarized $^3$He and $^{12
9}$Xe samples. The EDM measurement sensitivity benefits strongly from long spin coherence times of several hours achieved in diluted gases and homogeneous weak magnetic fields of about 400~nT. A finite EDM is indicated by a change in the precession frequency, as an electric field is periodically reversed with respect to the magnetic guiding field. Our result, $left(-4.7pm6.4right)cdot 10^{-28}$ ecm, is consistent with zero and is used to place a new upper limit on the $^{129}$Xe EDM: $|d_text{Xe}|<1.5 cdot 10^{-27}$ ecm (95% C.L.). We also discuss the implications of this result for various CP-violating observables as they relate to theories of physics beyond the standard model.
We report the theoretical investigation of the suppression of magnetic systematic effects in HfF$^+$ cation for the experiment to search for the electron electric dipole moment. The g-factors for $J = 1$, $F=3/2$, $|M_F|=3/2$ hyperfine levels of the
$^3Delta_1$ state are calculated as functions of the external electric field. The lowest value for the difference between the g-factors of $Omega$-doublet levels, $Delta g = 3 times 10^{-6}$, is attained at the electric field 7 V/cm. The body-fixed g-factor, $G_{parallel}$, was obtained both within the electronic structure calculations and with our fit of the experimental data from [H. Loh, K. C. Cossel, M. C. Grau, K.-K. Ni, E. R. Meyer, J. L. Bohn, J. Ye, and E. A. Cornell, Science {bf 342}, 1220 (2013)]. For the electronic structure calculations we used a combined scheme to perform correlation calculations of HfF$^+$ which includes both the direct 4-component all-electron and generalized relativistic effective core potential approaches. The electron correlation effects were treated using the coupled cluster methods. The calculated value $G_{parallel}=0.0115$ agrees very well with the $G_{parallel}=0.0118$ obtained in the our fitting procedure. The calculated value $D_{parallel}=-1.53$ a.u. of the molecule frame dipole moment (with the origin in the center of mass) is in agreement with the experimental value $D_{parallel}=-1.54(1)$ a.u. [H. Loh, Ph.D. thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006)].
A cryogenic apparatus is described that enables a new experiment, nEDM@SNS, with a major improvement in sensitivity compared to the existing limit in the search for a neutron Electric Dipole Moment (EDM). It uses superfluid $^4$He to produce a high d
ensity of Ultra-Cold Neutrons (UCN) which are contained in a suitably coated pair of measurement cells. The experiment, to be operated at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, uses polarized $^3$He from an Atomic Beam Source injected into the superfluid $^4$He and transported to the measurement cells as a co-magnetometer. The superfluid $^4$He is also used as an insulating medium allowing significantly higher electric fields, compared to previous experiments, to be maintained across the measurement cells. These features provide an ultimate statistical uncertainty for the EDM of $2-3times 10^{-28}$ e-cm, with anticipated systematic uncertainties below this level.
