Observation of magnetization transfer in spin-exchange collisions of cesium and rubidium atoms

Spin exchange is one of the effective processes for obtaining spin-polarized atoms. Such mechanism of spin polarization is usually used to transmit and observe the longitudinal (along magnetic field) component magnetization of atoms. However, spin-exchange collisions can also lead to the transfer of...

Summary:Spin exchange is one of the effective processes for obtaining spin-polarized atoms. Such mechanism of spin polarization is usually used to transmit and observe the longitudinal (along magnetic field) component magnetization of atoms. However, spin-exchange collisions can also lead to the transfer of the transverse component of magnetization, which occurs when the atoms involved in the collisions are exposed to an alternating resonant magnetic field. This article describes experiments to observe the transmission of transverse magnetization between alkali metal atoms 133Cs and 85Rb in spin-exchange collisions. The calculation of the spin exchange in a mixture of Cs and Rb under magnetic resonance conditions gave a qualitative agreement with the experimental results.
