Impact of ligand deformation on the P,T-violation effects in the YbOH molecule

Ytterbium monohydroxide is a promising molecule in the search for new physics. It is well known that levels of opposite parity, separated by energy split, the so-called l-doublets, define the experimental electric field strength required for molecule polarization. In addition, in our previous paper [Phys. Rev. A 105, L050801 (2022)], we have shown that the value of l-doubling directly influences the sensitivity of linear triatomic molecules toward the P,T-odd effects. In our work [J. Chem. Phys. 155, 164301 (2021)], we have calculated the value of l-doubling for YbOH molecules with the approximation of fixed O-H bond length. Taking the importance of this property into account, in the present study, we consider the additional degree of freedom corresponding to ligand (OH) deformation.
