Nuclear spin waves seen in dilute polarized gases

JUN 01, 1984

Spin waves in crystalline ferromagnets have been known since the 1950s. It is less obvious that such collective propagating modes of oscillating magnetization can be excited in liquids. But spin waves in degenerate Fermi liquids were predicted as early as 1958 and eventually seen in such Fermi‐liquid systems as liquid helium‐3 and the conduction electrons of paramagnetic metals.
