This magnetoelectric effect occurs for electrons in a triplet state provided the magnetic induction field is not aligned with the symmetry axis of the molecule.Magnetoelectric effectHydrogen moleculeSymmetry breakingMagnetoelectric effect in a hydrogen moleculetext::journal::journal article::research article
