Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons in superfluid 3He-B is experimentally manifested by various states where coherent spin precession is established spontaneously, even in nonhomogeneous magnetic fields. Once such a condensate with coherent spin precession is created, it occupies the state with minimal energy, the ground state. The application of an additional magnetic field to that condensate may cause its deflection from the energy minimum and the condensate responds by creating collective gapless oscillations known as Goldstone modes. This Letter reports the experimental observation of a new (non-)Goldstone mode, which can be viewed as an additional NMR mode of condensed magnons in a rotating frame of reference.
超流³He-B中磁振子的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚在实验中表现为各种状态,即使在非均匀磁场中,相干自旋进动也会自发建立。一旦形成了具有相干自旋进动的这种凝聚体,它就占据能量最低的状态,即基态。对该凝聚体施加额外磁场可能会使其偏离能量最小值,而凝聚体则会通过产生称为戈德斯通模式的集体无隙振荡做出响应。本文报道了一种新的(非)戈德斯通模式的实验观测结果,该模式在旋转参考系中可被视为凝聚磁振子的一种额外核磁共振模式。
