Optical pumping of alkali-metal vapor in the quasi-high-pressure regime
Kezheng Yan, Jinbo Hu, Nan Zhao
Optical pumping is fundamental to high-precision measurement using thermal alkali-metal atoms in vapor cells. In applications such as atomic magnetometry, buffer gases (e.g., $\mat…

Impact of Heavy Noble Gases on the Magnetic Resonance Linewidth of Alkali-Metal Atoms: A Theoretical Study
Feng Tang, Kezheng Yan, Nan Zhao
Nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscopes (NMRGs) employ noble-gas nuclear spins as inertial sensors and alkali-metal atoms as in-situ magnetometers. Heavy noble gases, particularly xe…
