Phys. Rev. A 68, 042103 (2003) [8 pages]Enhancement of the electron electric dipole moment in gadolinium garnetsReceived 13 January 2003; revised 23 May 2003; published 7 October 2003 Effects caused by the electron electric dipole moment (EDM) in gadolinium garnets are considered. Experimental studies of these effects could improve the current upper limit on the electron EDM by several orders of magnitude. We suggest a consistent theoretical model and perform calculations of observable effects in gadolinium gallium garnet and gadolinium iron garnet. Our calculation accounts for both direct and exchange diagrams. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
