Vibrational corrections to electric properties of weakly bound systems

The pure electronic and vibrational contributions to electric dipole moments, dipole polarizabilities, and first hyperpolarizabilities have been evaluated for the HF and H₂O dimers. The zero-point vibrational average corrections to dipole moments and dipole polarizabilities turn out to be relatively small. However, the corresponding contributions to the first hyperpolarizability are found to be of the same magnitude as the pure electronic values. The so-called pure vibrational corrections to the dipole polarizability and first hyperpolarizability of hydrogen bonded dimers are exceptionally large and indicate that the perturbation theory method used for their evaluation fails to account properly for the high mechanical and electric anharmonicities present in these systems. The analysis of different harmonic and anharmonic contributions to the pure vibrational correction to the first hyperpolarizability shows explicitly the importance of the low frequency intermolecular modes.     

Electric dipole moments in the limit of heavy superpartners

Supersymmetric loop corrections induce potentially large CP-violating couplings of the Higgs bosons to nucleons and electrons that do not vanish in the limit of heavy superpartners. The Higgs-mediated CP-odd four-fermion operators are enhanced by tan((3)beta and induce electric dipole moments of heavy atoms which exceed the current experimental bounds for the electroweak scale Higgs masses and tan(beta greater, similar 10. If only the first two sfermion generations are heavy, the Higgs-mediated contributions typically dominate over the Barr-Zee type two-loop diagrams at tan(beta>30.     

On the Existence of Pure,Broadband Toroidal Sources in Electrodynamics

Multipoles are paramount for describing electromagnetic fields in many areas of nanoscale optics, playing an essential role in the design of devices in plasmonics and all-dielectric nanophotonics. Challenging the traditional division into electric and magnetic moments, toroidal moments are proposed as a physically distinct family of multipoles with significant contributions to the properties of matter. However, the apparent impossibility of separately measuring their response sheds doubt on their true physical significance. Here, the possibility of selectively exciting toroidal moments is confirmed without any other multipole. A set of general conditions is developed that any current distribution must fulfill to be entirely described by toroidal moments and prove the results in an analytically solvable case. The new theory allows to design and verify experimentally an artificial structure supporting a pure broadband toroidal dipole response in the complete absence of the electric dipole and other “ordinary” multipole contributions. In addition, a structure capable of supporting a novel type of non-radiating source is proposed- a “toroidal anapole,” originating from the destructive interference of the toroidal dipole with the unconventional electromagnetic sources known as mean square radii. The results in this work provide conclusive evidence on the independent excitation of toroidal moments in electrodynamics.     

Electric dipole moments in the MSSM at large tanβ

Within the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), the large tanβ regime can lead to important modifications in the pattern of CP-violating sources contributing to low energy electric dipole moments (EDMs). In particular, four-fermion CP-violating interactions induced by Higgs exchange should be accounted for alongside the constituent EDMs of quarks and electrons. To this end, we present a comprehensive analysis of three low energy EDM observables—namely the EDMs of thallium, mercury and the neutron—at large tanβ, in terms of one- and two-loop contributions to the constituent EDMs and four-fermion interactions. We concentrate on the constrained MSSM as well as the MSSM with nonuniversal Higgs masses, and include the CP-violating phases of μ and A. Our results indicate that the atomic EDMs receive significant corrections from four-fermion operators, especially when Im(A) is the only CP-violating source, whereas the neutron EDM remains relatively insensitive to these effects. As a consequence, in a large portion of the parameter space, one cannot infer a separate bound on the electron EDM via the experimental constraint on the thallium EDM. Furthermore, we find that the electron EDM can be greatly reduced due to the destructive interference of one- and two-loop contributions with the latter being dominated by virtual staus.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance in ferromagnetic terbium

The temperature dependence of the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole hyperfine fields has been measured by NMR in ferromagnetic terbium metal. The results are in excellent agreement with a general theoretical relation connecting moments of the magnetization. This relation allows us to separate ionic and crystalline contributions to the nuclear electric field gradient.     

Electric dipole moments of lithium atoms in Rydberg states

Recently, the diverse properties of Rydberg atoms, which probably arise from its large electric dipole moment(EDM),have been explored. In this paper, we report electric dipole moments along with Stark energies and charge densities of lithium Rydberg states in the presence of electric fields, calculated by matrix diagonalization. Huge electric dipole moments are discovered. In order to check the validity of the EDMs, we also use these electric dipole moments to calculate the Stark energies by numerical integration. The results agree with those calculated by matrix diagonalization.     

Electron electric dipole moment induced by octet-colored scalars

An appended sector of two octet-colored scalars, each an electroweak doublet, is an interesting extension of the simple two Higgs doublet model motivated by the minimal flavor violation. Their rich CP violating interaction gives rise to a sizable electron electric dipole moment, besides the quark electric dipole moment via the two-loop contribution of Barr–Zee mechanism.     

Measurement of the electric dipole moment of NO (X2 Π ν = 0,1) by mid-infrared laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy

A pair of parallel Stark plates are added to a CO laser magnetic resonance spectrometer to apply electric field in the absorption cell. This apparatus is used to measure the molecular electric dipole moment via Zeeman and Stark effects simultaneously. The saturated absorption spectra of NO (X²Π_3/2, ν = 1 ← 0) was observed and the electric dipole moments of NO were directly measured in the presence of an electric field. The dipole moments are determined as μ₀(ν = 0) = 0.1595(15) D, μ₁ (ν = 1) = 0.1425(16) D. The electric dipole moment of the vibrationally excited state (ν = 1) is determined for the first time. The dependence of the electric dipole moments on its nuclear distances is interpreted.

Electric Dipole Moment of W-boson Through Neutral Higga-Boson Exchange

We compute the electric dipole moment generated at two-loop for the W-boson in the Weinberg-Higgs model in which the CP violation is mediated by neutral Higgs-boson exchange. We also compare our results with the others relative to the problem in the literature     

A neutron electric dipole moment from supersymmetric QCD

Supersymmetric QCD naturally contains CP-violating interactions which can contribute to a neutron electric dipole moment. An analysis of the two-loop graphs results in a non-zero EDM whose magnitude is estimated and found to be compatible with experiment.     

Theory of two-proton radioactivity with application to 19Mg and 48Ni

If the soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking masses and couplings are complex and cancellations do take place in the SUSY induced contributions to the fermionic electric dipole moments, then the CP-violating soft phases can drastically modify much of the known phenomenological pattern of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In particular, the squark loop content of the dominant Higgs production mechanism at the Large Hadron Collider, the gluon-gluon fusion mode, could be responsible for large corrections to the known cross sections.     

Dipole moments of molecules solvated in helium nanodroplets

Stark spectra are reported for hydrogen cyanide and cyanoacetylene solvated in helium nanodroplets. The goal of this study is to understand the influence of the helium solvent on measurements of the permanent electric dipole moment of a molecule. We find that the dipole moments of the helium solvated molecules, calculated assuming the electric field is the same as in vacuum, are slightly smaller than the well-known gas-phase dipole moments of HCN and HCCCN. A simple elliptical cavity model quantitatively accounts for this difference, which arises from the dipole-induced polarization of the helium.     

Magnetic quadrupole moment of W-boson in Kobayashi-Maskawa model

Due to CP-invariance violation a vector particle can acquire a T- and P-odd electric dipole moment and a magnetic quadrupole one. The W-boson magnetic quadrupole moment is calculated in the Kobayashi-Maskawa model. This is the only known CP-odd moment arising in this model in two-loop approximation.     

Electric dipole moments in the generic supersymmetric standard model

The generic supersymmetric standard model is a model built from a supersymmetrized standard model field spectrum and the gauge symmetries only. The popular minimal supersymmetric standard model differs from the generic version in having R parity imposed by hand. We review an efficient formulation of the model and some of the recently obtained interesting phenomenological features, focusing on one-loop contributions to fermion electric dipole moments.     

Neutrino disintegration of deuteron and electromagnetic form factos of neutrinos

Schiff moment of the mercury nucleus and the proton dipole moment

The Schiff moment of the ¹⁹⁹Hg nucleus is calculated using finite range P-and T-violating weak nucleon-nucleon interaction. Both the contributions of the P-and T-odd interaction and of internal nucleon electric dipole moments to the Schiff moment of ¹⁹⁹Hg are calculated. The contribution of the proton electric dipole moment is obtained via core-polarization effects treated in the framework of RPA with effective residual interactions. We derive a new upper bound |d _p |<5.4×10^?24e cm for the proton electric dipole moment.     

Electric dipole moments reconsidered

The electric dipole moments of elementary particles, atoms, molecules, and their connection to the electric susceptibility are discussed for stationary states. Assuming rotational invariance, it is emphasized that, for such states, only in the case of a parity and time-reversal-violating interaction can the considered particles exhibit a nonvanishing expectation value for the electric dipole moment.
