Relativistic corrections to the nuclear Schiff moment

Parity and time invariance violating ($P,T$-odd) atomic electric dipole moments (EDM) are induced by interaction between atomic electrons and nuclear $P,T$-odd moments which are produced by $P,T$-odd nuclear forces. The nuclear EDM is screened by atomic electrons. The EDM of a non-relativistic atom with closed electron subshells is induced by the nuclear Schiff moment. For heavy relativistic atoms EDM is induced by the nuclear local dipole moments which differ by 10-50% from the Schiff moments calculated previously. We calculate the local dipole moments for ${^{199}{\rm Hg}}$ and ${^{205}{\rm Tl}}$ where the most accurate atomic and molecular EDM measurements have been performed.Comment: 3 pages, no figures, brief repor

The anisotropic Heisenberg chain in coexisting transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields

The one-dimensional spin-1/2 $XXZ$ model in a mixed transverse and longitudinal magnetic field is studied. Using the specially developed version of the mean-field approximation the order-disorder transition induced by the magnetic field is investigated. The ground state phase diagram is obtained. The behavior of the model in low transverse field is studied on the base of conformal field theory. The relevance of our results to the observed phase transition in the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet $Cs_2 Co Cl_4$ is discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure
