  We perform calculations of the CP-violating atomic and molecular electric
dipole moments (EDM) induced by the interaction of the nuclear Schiff moments
with electrons. EDM of atoms Eu, Dy, Gd, Ac, Th, Pa, U, Np and Pu are of
special interest since they have isotopes with strongly enhanced nuclear Schiff
moments caused by the octupole nuclear deformation or soft octupole vibration
mode. These atoms have open 4f or 5f shells making the calculations
complicated. We use our special version of the configuration interaction method
combined with the many-body perturbation theory method adopted for open f-shell
case. To validate the method we perform similar calculations for simpler atoms
(Xe, Hg, Tl+, Pb, Pb++, Rn, Ra) where some earlier results are available. In
addition we present the estimates of the CP-violating nuclear spin - molecular
axis interaction constants for molecules which may be of experimental interest
including AcF, EuN, ThO, PbO and TlF. We also present updated values of the
nuclear Schiff moments and atomic and molecular EDM expressed in terms of the
CP-violating pi-meson - nucleon interaction constants g_0,g_1, g_2, QCD
parameter theta and quark chromo-EDMs. The results may be used to test
CP-violation theories and search for axion dark matter in atomic, molecular and
solid state experiments.
