Symmetry-breaking states of matter can transmit symmetry breaking to nearby atoms or molecular complexes, perturbing their spectra. We calculate here one such effect, involving the “axion electrodynamics” relevant to topological insulators, quantitatively, and identify a signature for T violating superconductivity. Furthermore, we offer an operator framework whereby effects of this kind can be analyzed systematically.
