Summary
The form of Zeeman lines in the presence of a resonant rotating r.f. magnetic field is determined. The spontaneous emission distributions are obtained from the steady-state solutions, leading to a prediction of the splitting of Zeeman lines at rotation frequencies corresponding to well separated single- and multiple-quantum resonance frequencies, as well as at the resonance frequency in the Majorana case.
Riassunto
Si determina la forma delle linee di Zeeman in presenza di un campo magnetico rotante risonante a r.f. Le distribuzioni della emissione spontanea vengono ottenute dalle soluzioni per lo stato continuo, e portano alla predizione della scissione delle linee di Zeeman sia per frequenze di rotazione pari alle ben distinte frequenze di risonanza quantistiche singole e multiple, sia per la frequenza di risonanza nel caso di Majorana.
