Zeeman relaxation of cold atomic iron and nickel in collisions with [superscript 3] He

We have measured the ratio γ of the diffusion cross section to the angular momentum reorientation cross section in the colliding Fe-3He and Ni-3He systems. Nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe) atoms are introduced via laser ablation into a cryogenically cooled experimental cell containing cold (<1 K) 3He bu...
