AB - We introduce four new molecules—YbRb, YbCs, YbSr + , and  YbBa +—that may prove fruitful in experimental searches for the electric-dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. These molecules can, in principle, be prepared at extremely low temperatures by photoassociating ultracold atoms and therefore may present an advantage over molecular-beam experiments. Here we discuss properties of these molecules and assess the effective electric fields they contribute to an electron EDM measurement.
