Electron-nucleus scalar-pseudoscalar interaction in PbF: Z-vector study in the relativistic coupled-cluster framework

The scalar-pseudoscalar interaction constant of PbF in its ground state electronic configuration is calculated using the Z-vector method in the relativistic coupled-cluster framework. The precise calculated value is very important to set upper bound limit on P,T-odd scalar-pseudoscalar interaction constant, k_s, from the experimentally observed P,T-odd frequency shift. Further, the ratio of the effective electric field to the scalar-pseudoscalar interaction constant is also calculated which is required to get an independent upper bound limit of electric dipole moment of electron, d_e, and k_s and how these (d_e and k_s) are interrelated is also presented here.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure

Relativistic coupled-cluster study of RaF as a candidate for parity and time reversal violating interaction

We have employed both Z-vector method and the expectation value approach in the relativistic coupled-cluster framework to calculate the scalar-pseudoscalar (S-PS) P, T -odd interaction constant (W_s) and the effective electric field (Eeff) experienced by the unpaired electron in the ground electronic state of RaF. Further, the magnetic hyperfine structure constants of ^{223}Ra in RaF and ^{223}Ra+ are also calculated and compared with the experimental values wherever available to judge the extent of accuracy obtained in the employed methods. The outcome of our study reveals that the Z-vector method is superior than the expectation value approach in terms of accuracy obtained for the calculation of ground state property. The Z-vector calculation shows that RaF has a high E_eff (52.5 GV/cm) and W_s (141.2 kHz) which makes it a potential candidate for the eEDM experiment.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

Relativistic equation-of-motion coupled-cluster method for the electron attachment problem

The article considers the successful implementation of relativistic equation-of-motion coupled cluster method for the electron attachment problem (EA-EOMCC) at the level of single- and double- excitation approximation. The implemented relativistic EA-EOMCC method is employed to calculate ionization potential values of alkali metal atoms (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) and the vertical electron affinity values of LiX (X = H, F, Cl, Br), NaY (Y = H, F, Cl) starting from their closed-shell configuration. Both four-component and exact two-component calculations are done for all the opted systems. Further, we have shown the effect of spin-orbit interaction considering the atomic systems. The results of our atomic calculations are compared with the values from the NIST database and the results are found to be very accurate (< 1 %).Comment: 26 Pages, 3 figures, 6 Tables.
