Spin polarization of 85Rb atoms in collisions with optically oriented metastable 4He atoms in alkali–helium plasma
We have experimentally detected a signal of magnetic resonance (MR) from 85 Rb atoms in the 5 2 S 1/2 state by measuring the absorption of light from a helium lamp producing optical orientation of metastable 2 3 S 1 4 He atoms in a cell containing alkali metal vapor and gaseous helium at a pressure...
