Abstract
We show that in a one-electron atom in which parity-nonconserving interactions are operative, electromagnetic radiation of arbitrary polarization lifts the magnetic degeneracy of a spin–orbit coupled state. This result, arising from basic symmetry principles, occurs to second (and higher) order in the interaction of the atom with the electromagnetic field. It is a manifestation of the inverse magnetochiral effect.
