Time- and parity-violating effects of nuclear Schiff moment in molecules and solids

V. V. Flambaum, V. A. Dzuba, H. B. Tran Tan

We show that existing calculations of the interaction between nuclear Schiff moments and electrons in molecules use an inaccurate operator which gives rise to significant errors. B…

Theoretical study of electronic structure of erbium and fermium

Saleh O. Allehabi, Jiguang Li, V. A. Dzuba +1

We use a recently developed version of the configuration method for open shells to study electronic structure of erbium and fermium atoms. We calculate excitation energies of odd s…

Fast apparent oscillations of fundamental constants

Dionysios Antypas, Dmitry Budker, Victor V. Flambaum +3

Precision spectroscopy of atoms and molecules allows one to search for and to put stringent limits on the variation of fundamental constants. These experiments are typically interp…

Theoretical calculation of atomic properties of superheavy elements Z=110-112 and their ions

B. G. C. Lackenby, V. A. Dzuba, V. V. Flambaum

We calculate the spectra, electric dipole transition rates and isotope shifts of the super heavy elements Ds (Z=110), Rg (Z=111) and Cn (Z=112) and their ions. These calculations w…

High-precision ab initio calculations of the spectrum of Lr

E. V. Kahl, J. C. Berengut, M. Laatiaoui +2

The planned measurement of optical resonances in singly-ionised lawrencium (Z = 103) requires accurate theoretical predictions to narrow the search window. We present high-precisio…

A Simple Explanation for the Observed Power Law Distribution of Line Intensity in Complex Many-Electron Atoms

Keisuke Fujii, Julian C. Berengut

It has long been observed that the number of weak lines from many-electron atoms follows a power law distribution of intensity. While computer simulations have reproduced this depe…

Sensitivity of isotope shift to distribution of nuclear charge density

V. V. Flambaum, V. A. Dzuba

It is usually assumed that the field isotope shift (FIS) is completely determined by the change of the averaged squared values of the nuclear charge radius . Re…
