| Examples of observables of this kind are the electric dipole moments of the neutron and atoms, and T-odd correlations in leptonic and semileptonic decays. This can be attributed to the increased number of dipole moments along the polymer backbone. In bulk, ice has not net polarization, but in small enough groups, the water molecules in ice are free to cluster together so that their dipole moments are aligned in the same direction. |
