Abstract
Modulation has been observed in orientation transfer from mercury to cadmium under the simultaneous application of a static and a rotating magnetic field. The dependence of the depth of modulation on the static field has been investigated, and the agreement with theory is satisfactory.
Résumé
On a observé les modulations lors du transfert collisionnel d'orientation entre atomes de mercure et de cadmium, sous l'application simultanée d'un champ magnétique constant et d'un champ toumant. On a étudié la dépendance de la profondeur de modulation en fonction du champ constant, et l'accord avec la théorie est satisfaisant.
