Calculation of P,T-odd interaction constant of PbF using Z-vector method in the relativistic coupled-cluster framework

Abstract

The effective electric field experienced by the unpaired electron in the ground state of PbF, which is a potential candidate in the search of electron electric dipole moment due to some special characteristics, is calculated using Z-vector method in the coupled cluster single- and double- excitation approximation with four component Dirac spinor. This is an important quantity to set the upper bound limit of the electron electric dipole moment. Further, we have calculated molecular dipole moment and parallel magnetic hyperfine structure constant (A$_\|$) of $^{207}$Pb in PbF to test the accuracy of the wave function obtained in the Z-vector method. The outcome of our calculations clearly suggests that the core electrons have significant contribution to the "atom in compound (AIC)" properties.
