We address a number of issues regarding solid state electron electric dipole moment (EDM) experiments, focusing on gadolinium iron garnet (abbreviated GdIG, chemical formula Gd$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$) as a possible sample material. GdIG maintains its high magnetic susceptibility down to 4.2 K, which enhances the EDM-induced...

High stability white light generation in water at multi-kilohertz repetition rate
Efficient supercontinuum (SC) generation featuring high spectral intensity across a large bandwidth requires high peak powers of several megawatt from pulsed lasers. Under these conditions and at multi-kilohertz (kHz) repetition rates, the SC generated in most materials is unstable due to thermal effects. In this work,...

Comment on "Prospects for a new search for the electron electric-dipole moment in solid gadolinium-iron-garnet ceramics"
In a recent paper [A. O. Sushkov, S. Eckel and S. K. Lamoreaux, Phys. Rev. A 79, 022118 (2009), arXiv:0810.2756 ] the authors measured the EDM-induced magnetization M that is given by Eq.
