If electrons had an electric dipole moment (EDM) they would induce EDMs of atoms. The ratio of the atomic EDM to the electron EDM for a particular atom is called the enhancement factor, R. We calculate the enhancement factor for the francium and gold atoms, with the results 910± ∼ 5% for Fr and 260± ∼ 15% for Au. The large values of these enhancement factors make these atoms attractive for elec...
