Abstract

We report the theoretical investigation of the suppression of magnetic systematic effects in HfF cation for the experiment to search for the electron electric dipole moment. The g-factors for , , hyperfine levels of the state are calculated as functions of the external electric field. The lowest value for the difference between the g-factors of -doublet levels, , is attained at the electric field 7 V/cm. The body-fixed g-factor, , was obtained both within the electronic structure calculations and with our fit of the experimental data from [H. Loh, K. C. Cossel, M. C. Grau, K.-K. Ni, E. R. Meyer, J. L. Bohn, J. Ye, and E. A. Cornell, Science {\bf 342}, 1220 (2013)]. For the electronic structure calculations we used a combined scheme to perform correlation calculations of HfF which includes both the direct 4-component all-electron and generalized relativistic effective core potential approaches. The electron correlation effects were treated using the coupled cluster methods. The calculated value agrees very well with the obtained in the our fitting procedure. The calculated value a.u. of the molecule frame dipole moment (with the origin in the center of mass) is in agreement with the experimental value a.u. [H. Loh, Ph.D. thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006)].
