We have calculated the atomic electric dipole moments (EDMs) induced in 199Hg, 129Xe, 223Rn, 225Ra, and 239Pu by their respective nuclear Schiff moments S. The results are [in units 10-17S(efm3)-1ecm]: d(199Hg)=-2.8, d(129Xe)=0.38, d(223Rn)=3.3, d(225Ra)=-8.5, and d(239Pu)=-11. We have also calculated corrections to the parity- and time-invariance-violating (P,T-odd) spin-axis interaction constant in TlF. These results are important for the interpretation of atomic and molecular experiments on EDMs in terms of fundamental P,T-odd parameters.
