Abstract

We report on the operation of co-located 129{}^{129}Xe and 131{}^{131}Xe nuclear spin masers with an external feedback scheme, and discuss the use of 131{}^{131}Xe as a comagnetometer in measurements of the 129{}^{129}Xe spin precession frequency. By applying a correction based on the observed change in the 131{}^{131}Xe frequency, the frequency instability due to magnetic field and cell temperature drifts are eliminated by two orders of magnitude. The frequency precision of 6.2 μ\muHz is obtained for a 104^4 s averaging time, suggesting the possibility of future improvement to \approx 1 nHz by improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the observation.
