David P. DeMille is an American physicist and Professor of Physics at Yale University. He is best known for his use of polar diatomic molecules to amplify symmetry-violating effects within the molecules and as a means for manipulating the external properties of the molecules.[1]
His group was the first to accomplish laser cooling of a diatomic molecule, achieved in 2010 using strontium monofluoride (SrF).[2][3] He is also known for his precise measurement of the electron electric dipole moment using a beam of thorium monoxide, conducted in collaboration with the groups of Gerald Gabrielse and John Doyle at Harvard.[4] DeMille is currently also leading the CeNTREX collaboration, an experiment to measure the nuclear Schiff moment of the thallium nucleus inside a thallium fluoride molecule.[5]
He was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2005.[6]
