Neutrino scattering on electrons is considered as a tool for laboratory searches for the neutrino magnetic moment. Inelastic ν e e^ - scattering on electrons bound in the germanium (Z=32) and iodine (Z=53) atoms is studied for antineutrinos generated in a nuclear reactor core and in 90Sr-90Y and 147Pm artificial sources. On the basis of the relativistic Hartree-Fock-Dirac model, both the magnetic-and weak-scattering cross sections are calculated for the recoil electron energy range between 1 and 100 keV, where a higher sensitivity to the neutrino magnetic moment could be achieved. Particular attention is paid to an approximate procedure that allows us to take into account the effects of atomic binding on the inelastic-scattering spectra in a simple way.
