Enhancement of the electric dipole moment of the electron in PbO

The a(1) state of PbO can be used to measure the electric dipole moment of the electron d_e. We discuss a semiempirical model for this state, which yields an estimate of the effective electric field on the valence electrons in PbO. Our final result is an upper limit on the measurable energy shift, which is significantly larger than was anticipated earlier: $ 2|W_d|d_e \ge 2.4\times 10^{25} \textrm{Hz} [ \frac{d_e}{e \textrm{cm}} ]$.

Electric dipole moments of Hg, Xe, Rn, Ra, Pu, and TlF induced by the nuclear Schiff moment and limits on time-reversal violating interactions

We have calculated the atomic electric dipole moments (EDMs) induced in ^{199}Hg, ^{129}Xe, ^{223}Rn, ^{225}Ra, and ^{239}Pu by their respective nuclear Schiff moments S. The results are (in units 10^{-17}S(e {fm}^{3})^{-1}e cm): d(^{199}Hg)=-2.8, d(^{129}Xe)=0.38, d(^{223}Rn)=3.3, d(^{225}Ra)=-8.5, d(^{239}Pu)=-11. We have also calculated corrections to the parity- and time-invariance-violating (P,T-odd) spin-axis interaction constant in TlF. These results are important for the interpretation of atomic and molecular experiments on EDMs in terms of fundamental P,T-odd parameters.

The $α$-dependence of transition frequencies for ions Si II, Cr II, Fe II, Ni II, and Zn II

We performed accurate calculation of $α$-dependence ($α=e^2/hc$) of the transition frequencies for ions, which are used in a search for the variation of the fine structure constant $α$ in space-time. We use Dirac-Hartree-Fock method as a zero approximation and then the many-body perturbation theory and configuration interaction methods to improve the results. An important problem of level pseudocrossing (as functions of $α$) is considered. Near the crossing point the derivative of frequencies over $α$ varies strongly (including change of the sign). This makes it very sensitive to the position of the crossing point. We proposed a semiempirical solution of the problem which allows to obtain accurate results.

Calculation of nuclear spin-dependent parity-nonconserving amplitude for (7s,F=4) --> (7s,F=5) transition in Fr

Many-body calculation of nuclear spin-dependent parity-nonconserving amplitude for (7s,F=4) --> (7s,F=5) transition between hyperfine sublevels of the ground state of $^{211}$Fr is carried out. The final result is <7s,F=5 ||d_PNC|| 7s,F=4> = -0.49 10^{-10} i kappa a.u., where kappa is the dimensionless coupling constant. This is approximately an order of magnitude larger than similar amplitude in Cs. The dominant contribution to kappa is associated with the anapole moment of the nucleus.

High accuracy calculation of 6s -> 7s parity nonconserving amplitude in Cs

We calculated the parity nonconserving (PNC) 6s -> 7s amplitude in Cs. In the Dirac-Coulomb approximation our result is in a good agreement with other calculations. Breit corrections to the PNC amplitude and to the Stark-induced amplitude $β$ are found to be -0.4% and -1% respectively. The weak charge of $^{133}$Cs is $Q_W=-72.5 \pm 0.7$ in agreement with the standard model.

High-precision calculations of electric-dipole amplitudes for transitions between low-lying levels of Mg, Ca, and Sr

To support efforts on cooling and trapping of alkaline-earth atoms and designs of atomic clocks, we performed ab initio relativistic many-body calculations of electric-dipole transition amplitudes between low-lying states of Mg, Ca, and Sr. In particular, we report amplitudes for ^1P_1 --> ^1S_0, ^3S_1, ^1D_2$, for ^3P_1 --> ^1S_0, ^1D_2, and for ^3P_2 --> ^1D_2 transitions. For Ca, the reduced matrix element <4s4p, ^1P_1 ||D|| 4s^2, ^1S_0> is in a good agreement with a high-precision experimental value deduced from photoassociation spectroscopy [Zinner et al., Phys.Rev.Lett., v.85, 2292 (2000)]. An estimated uncertainty of the calculated lifetime of the (3s3p ^1P_1) state of Mg is a factor of three smaller than that of the most accurate experiment. Calculated binding energies reproduce experimental values within 0.1-0.2%.

Breit interaction in heavy atoms

In this letter we discuss how to include Breit interaction in calculations of low-energy properties of heavy atoms in accurate and effective way. In order to illustrate our approach we give some results for Cs and Tl.

Calculation of hyperfine structure constants for ytterbium

We calculate energies and hyperfine structure constants A and B for low-lying levels of $^{173}$Yb. The latter is treated as a two-electron atom. To account for valence-valence correlations the configuration interaction method is used. Valence-core correlations are accounted for within the many-body perturbation theory which is used to construct effective two-electron operators in the valence space.

Electric dipole moment of the electron in YbF molecule

Ab initio calculation of the hyperfine, P-odd, and P,T-odd constants for the YbF molecule was performed with the help of the recently developed technique, which allows to take into account correlations and polarization in the outercore region. The ground state electronic wave function of the YbF molecule is found with the help of the Relativistic Effective Core Potential method followed by the restoration of molecular four-component spinors in the core region of ytterbium in the framework of a non-variational procedure. Core polarization effects are included with the help of the atomic Many Body Perturbation Theory for Yb atom. For the isotropic hyperfine constant A, accuracy of our calculation is about 3% as compared to the experimental datum. The dipole constant Ad (which is much smaller in magnitude), though better than in all previous calculations, is still underestimated by almost 23%. Being corrected within a semiempirical approach for a perturbation of 4f-shell in the core of Yb due to the bond making, this error is reduced to 8%. Our value for the effective electric field on the unpaired electron is 4.9 a.u.=2.5E+10 V/cm.
