Abstract

We develop an analytic-gradient based method for relativistic coupled-cluster calculations of effective electric field, Eeff\mathcal{E}_{\text{eff}}, with improved efficiency and robustness over the previous state of the art. The enhanced capability to calculate this time-reversal symmetry violation sensitivity parameter enables efficient screening of candidate molecules for the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) search. As examples, the |Eeff\mathcal{E}_{\text{eff}}| values of metal methoxides including BaOCH3_3, YbOCH3_3, and RaOCH3_3 are shown to be as large as those of the corresponding fluorides and hydroxides, which supports the recent proposal of using these symmetric-top molecules to improve the sensitivity of eEDM measurements. The computational results also show that molecules containing late actinide elements, NoF, NoOH, LrO, and LrOH+^+, exhibit particularly large |Eeff\mathcal{E}_{\text{eff}}| values of around 200 GV/cm.
