We report a measurement of the ratio of dimensionless enhancement factors $\kappa_0$ for Cs-$^{129}$Xe and Rb-$^{129}$Xe in the temperature range $115-140\, ^{\circ}$C; both pairs are used in spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) to produce…
Z. Xu, et al. [Phys. Rev. A 103, 023114 (2021)], have reported a measurement for the enhancement factor $\kappa$, which characterizes the overlap of the electron wavefunction with the noble-gas nucleus in Cs-$^{129}$Xe spin-exchange optical…
The Fermi-contact interaction that characterizes collisional spin exchange of a noble gas with an alkali-metal vapor also gives rise to NMR and EPR frequency shifts of the noble-gas nucleus and the alkali-metal atom, respectively. We have…
We describe a $^{3}$He-$^{129}$Xe comagnetometer operating in stemless anodically bonded cells with a 6 mm$^3$ volume and a $^{129}$Xe spin coherence time of 300 sec. We use a $^{87}$Rb pulse-train magnetometer with co-linear pump and probe…
We study nuclear spin frequency shifts in a $^{3}$He-$^{129}$Xe comagnetometer caused by spin polarization of $^{3}$He. We use stemless cylindrical cells to systematically vary the cell geometry and separately measure the cell…
The Zeeman splittings and EPR frequencies of alkali-metal atoms are shifted in the presence of a polarized noble gas. For a spherical geometry, the shift is enhanced over what is expected classically by a dimensionless atomic parameter…
We describe a $^{3}$He-$^{129}$Xe comagnetometer using $^{87}$Rb atoms for noble-gas spin polarization and detection. We use a train of $^{87}$Rb $\pi$ pulses and $\sigma^+/\sigma^-$ optical pumping to realize a finite-field Rb magnetometer…
This article reviews the physics and technology of producing large quantities of highly spin-polarized, or hyperpolarized, $^3$He nuclei using spin-exchange (SEOP) and metastability-exchange (MEOP) optical pumping, and surveys applications…
We demonstrate a novel quantum sensor for measuring non-magnetic spin-dependent interactions. This sensor utilizes $^{131}$Xe, $^{129}$Xe, and $^{85}$Rb which are continuously polarized transverse to a pulsed bias field. The transverse…
Polarized nuclei are a powerful tool in nuclear spin studies and in searches for beyond-the-standard model physics. Noble-gas comagnetometer systems, which compare two nuclear species, have thus far been limited by anomalous frequency…
We compared the frequency shift of the 21Ne Zeeman resonance induced by polarized Rb vapor to the shift induced in the 3He Zeeman resonance. The 3He/Rb shift has recently been measured with high precision, permitting the conversion of our…
We report results of a new technique to measure the electric dipole moment of $^{129}$Xe with $^3$He comagnetometry. Both species are polarized using spin-exchange optical pumping, transferred to a measurement cell, and transported into a…
By measuring the nuclear magnetic spin precession frequencies of polarized $^{129}$Xe and $^{3}$He, a new upper limit on the $^{129}$Xe atomic electric dipole moment (EDM) $ d_\mathrm{A} (^{129}\mathrm{Xe})$ was reported in Phys. Rev. Lett.…
Optically hyperpolarized $^{129}$Xe gas has become a powerful contrast agent in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and imaging, with applications ranging from studies of the human lung to the targeted detection of biomolecules.…
We report on hyperpolarization of quadrupolar (I=3/2) 131Xe via spin-exchange optical pumping. Observations of the 131Xe polarization dynamics show that the effective alkali-metal/131Xe spin-exchange cross-sections are large enough to…
We demonstrate a transversely polarized spin-exchange pumped noble gas comagnetometer which suppresses systematic errors from longitudinal polarization. Rb atoms as well as $^{131}$Xe and $^{129}$Xe nuclei are simultaneously polarized…
Indirect spin-spin interactions between nuclei bound in a molecule are well-known in nuclear magnetic resonance, but such interactions between unbound atoms are less well studied and are often assumed to be zero. We present the first…
We describe a new technique to measure the EDM of $^{129}$Xe with $^3$He comagnetometry. Both species are polarized using spin-exchange optical pumping, transferred to a measurement cell, and transported into a magnetically shielded room,…
Measuring the size of permanent electric dipole moments (EDM) of a particle or system provides a powerful tool to test Beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. The diamagnetic $^{129}$Xe atom is one of the promising candidates for EDM experiments…
Relativistic coupled-cluster (RCC) theory at the singles and doubles approximation has been implemented to estimate nuclear spin dependent (NSD) parity violating (PV) electric dipole (E1) transition amplitudes ($E1_{PV}^{NSD}$) among…
