Abstract

We demonstrate via first-principle calculations based on the density functional theory that the magnetic moment of a helium atom under a given magnetic field has a positive correlation with the electric dipole moment when an external electric field is applied to the system. Our calculation shows that the enhancement of the magnetic moment is significant due to the reduction of the triplet-singlet splitting. We argue that this finding can be generalized to organic molecules, especially to macromolecules where the structure induced an electric dipole moment which may give rise to significantly enhanced responses to the external magnetic field. These results suggest that considerable magnetic responses prevail, particularly in bio-molecules without an inversion center.
