Nuclear forces violating parity and time reversal invariance (P,T -odd) produce P,T -odd nuclear moments, for example, the nuclear Schiff moment. In turn, this moment can induce the electric dipole moment in the atom. The nuclear Schiff moment is predicted to be enhanced in nuclei with static quadrupole and octupole deformation. The analogous suggestion of the enhanced contribution to the Schif...

The electric quadrupole coupling constant of the ground state of 37K(Iπ = 3/2+, T1/2 = 1.22 s) in a tetragonal KH2PO4 single crystal was measured to be |eqQ/h| = 2.99± 0.07 MHz using the β-ray detecting nuclear quadrupole resonance technique. The electric quadrupole moment of 37K was determined to be |Q(37K)| = 10.6 ± 0.4 efm2, where the known electric quadrupole coupling constant of stable 39K...

Measuring the hyperfine structure (HFS) of long-lived P2 states of divalent atoms may offer the opportunity of extracting relatively unexplored nuclear magnetic octupole and electric hexadecapole moments. Here, using relativistic many-body methods of atomic structure and the nuclear shell model, we evaluate the effect of these higher nuclear moments on the hyperfine structure. We find that the ...

The electric dipole moments (EDMs) of diamagnetic atoms are expected to be sensitive charge-parity violation particularly in nuclei through the nuclear Schiff moment. I explicitly demonstrate that well-known form moment operator originating from nucleon EDM is obtained by considering screening EDMs a neutral atom. Consequently, an additional contribution arises induced interaction with protons....
