Time reversal violating magnetic quadrupole moment in heavy deformed nuclei

Time reversal violating magnetic quadrupole moment in heavy deformed nuclei

The existence of permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) and magnetic quadrupole moments (MQMs) violate both time reversal invariance ($T$) and parity ($P$). Following the $CPT$ theorem they also violate combined $CP$ symmetry. Nuclear EDMs are completely screened in atoms and molecules while interaction between electrons and MQMs creates atomic and …
