We report high nuclear polarization of 1.2 mbar 3He gas in a sealed cell in magnetic fields up to 5 T using Metastability Exchange Optical Pumping (MEOP). The creation of a highly polarized 3He gas target for use in the 5 T field of…
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 propose a technique to control the macroscopic collective nuclear spin of a Helium-3 vapor in the quantum regime using light. The scheme relies on metastability exchange collisions to mediate interactions between optically accessible…
We propose to take advantage of the weak coupling of ground-state helium-3 nuclear spin to its environment to produce long-lived macroscopic quantum states, nuclear spin squeezed states, in a gas cell at room temperature. To perform a…
Metastability exchange optical pumping (MEOP) is a widely used technique for producing polarized $^{3}$He. In connection with an experiment to search for the electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) we have built a MEOP based $^{3}$He…
We present an exhaustive analysis of the light-induced frequency shifts of the photoassociation lines of ultracold metastable 4He* atoms in a magnetic trap. The measurements of the shifts of several vibrational levels bound in the purely…
We study the dressed states of 3He atoms and experimentally observe the Mollow triplet (MT) induced with an ultra-low-frequency (ULF) oscillating magnetic field as low as 4 Hz. The ULF MT signatures from the ground states of 3He atoms are…
Systematic studies on metastability exchange optical pumping of $^3$He nuclei have been performed at Jefferson Lab using a 1-torr sealed cell at magnetic fields from 2 to 4 T. The effects of the discharge intensity, pump laser power, and…
We report a measurement of the modification of the effective precession frequency of polarized 3He atoms in response to a dressing field in a room temperature cell. The 3He atoms were polarized using the metastability spin-exchange method.…
The structure of the excited $2^{3}$S and $2^{3}$P triplet states of $^{3}$He and $^{4}$He in an applied magnetic field B is studied using different approximations of the atomic Hamiltonian. All optical transitions (line positions and…
We describe a method to hyperpolarize 3He nuclear spins at high magnetic fields (4.7 Tesla) solely by a magnetized plasma. The conditions for such a magnetized plasma are fulfilled when the mean free path of the free electrons is much…
The exchange interaction among electrons is one of the most fundamental quantum mechanical interactions in nature and underlies any magnetic phenomena from ferromagnetic ordering to magnetic storage. The current technology is built upon a…
Directly modifying spin exchange energies in a magnetic material with light can enable ultrafast control of its magnetic states. Current approaches rely on tuning charge hopping amplitudes that mediate exchange by optically exciting either…
Efficient excitation of nuclei via exchange of a real or virtual photon has a fundamental importance for nuclear science and technology development. Here, we present a new mechanism of nuclear excitation based on the capture of a free muon…
We present a realistic model for transferring the squeezing or the entanglement of optical field modes to the collective ground state nuclear spin of $^3$He using metastability exchange collisions. We discuss in detail the requirements for…
This work presents a comprehensive theoretical investigation of magnon-phonon-photon interactions in cubic ferromagnets near orientational phase transitions (OPT). The study focuses on the interplay of magnetoelastic (ME),…
The photon and 3He analyzing powers as well as spin correlation coefficients in the semiexclusive three-body photodisintegration of 3He are investigated for incoming photon laboratory energies E=12, 40 and 120 MeV. The nuclear states are…
We use accurate quantum mechanical calculations to analyze the effects of parallel electric and magnetic fields on collision dynamics of OH(2Pi) molecules. It is demonstrated that spin relaxation in 3He-OH collisions at temperatures below…
The periodical modulation of circularly polarized light with a frequency close to the electron spin resonance frequency induces a sharp change of the single electron spin orientation. Hyperfine interaction provides a feedback, thus fixing…
Semi-inclusive deep inelastic electron scattering off polarized 3He is studied in a non-relativistic framework, using a distorted spin-dependent spectral function for 3He to take care of the final state interaction between the observed pion…
