Abstract

A detailed description is presented of an optical-pumping charge-exchange method for establishing and observing nuclear-spin orientation in atomic ions having a S01 electronic configuration. Rb+, Cs+, K+, and free protons have been studied thus far. Various applications of the method include precision measurements of the nuclear moments in the ions and the first measurements of resonant charge-exchange cross sections at thermal energies.
