The exchange of an axion-like particle between atomic electrons and the nucleus may induce electric dipole moments (EDMs) of atoms and molecules. This interaction is described by a parity- and time-reversal-invariance-violating potential…
Nuclear spin-dependent parity violation arises from weak interactions between electrons and nucleons, and from nuclear anapole moments. We outline a method to measure such effects, using a Stark-interference technique to determine the…
We calculate nuclear spin-dependent parity non-conserving $E1$-amplitudes for optical transition $6p_{1/2,F} -> 6p_{3/2,F'}$ and for hyperfine transition $6p_{1/2,F} -> 6p_{1/2,F'}$ in Tl. Experimental limit on the former amplitude placed…
