Electric Dipole Moment Enhancement Factors Of Atoms and Ions In Their Ground States

Abstract

Nature has symmetries that help us understand its behaviour and the sci ence underlying many events. Atom is one of the simplest yet most com plicated systems, and its solution defines all of its other characteristics. In this thesis, we examine one of the property of an atom, permanent Electric Dipole Moment which derives from intrinsic EDM of electrons in it. The vi olation of Charge Conjugation-Parity Symmetry, which is one of the causes of the universe’s matter-antimatter imbalance, demonstrates electron EDM through Time reversal violation. The Enhancement factor of atoms can be used to calculate electron’s EDM. To solve the atomic system and determine the Enhancement factor of atoms, we employ relativistic Quantum Mechan ics.
