Abstract
Octupole deformation results in a strongly enhanced collective Schiff moment in nucleus. An additional enhancement of time-reversal (T) and parity- (P) violating effects (such as T,P-violating electric dipole moments) appears in the ground state and in the metastable state of diatomic molecule . Similar enhancements exist in molecular ions , , and . Corresponding experiments may be used to test charge conjugation and parity (CP)-violation theories predicting T,P-violating nuclear forces and to search for axions.
