Atomic electric dipole moments of He and Yb induced by nuclear Schiff moments

Atomic electric dipole moments of He and Yb induced by nuclear Schiff moments

We have calculated the atomic electric dipole moments (EDMs) $d$ of $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ and $^{171}\mathrm{Yb}$ induced by their respective nuclear Schiff moments $S$. Our results are $d(^{3}\mathrm{He})=8.3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$ and $d(^{171}\mathrm{Yb})=\ensuremath{-}1.9$ in units of ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}17}(S∕e\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{fm}}^{3})\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}e\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\mathrm{cm}$. By considering the nuclear Schiff moments induced by the parity- and time-reversal violating nucleon-nucleon interaction, we find $d(^{171}\mathrm{Yb})\ensuremath{\sim}0.6d(^{199}\mathrm{Hg})$. …
