ANALYSIS OF ATOMIC ELECTRIC-DIPOLE MOMENT IN THALLIUM BY ALL-ORDER CALCULATIONS IN MANY-BODY PERTURBATION-THEORY

A procedure is presented for calculations of double-perturbation problems in the coupled-cluster formalism. With use of this method to include to all orders the correlation effects of single and pair excitations, the enhancement factor R = - 585 is obtained for the electric dipole moment (EDM) in atomic thallium. Equations for EDM perturbed single-excitation amplitudes are solved by diagonalization to take into account mixing between excited core states, and perturbed pair functions are introduced to incorporate correlation effects. Considering contributions from higher-order perturbation terms, we estimate the accuracy of the obtained enhancement factor is approximately at the 5-10% level.
