Abstract

The spinor dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates of Rb87 atoms with hyperfine spins of 1 and 2 are investigated. A mixture of spinor condensates is generated in the transversely polarized spin-1 and the longitudinally polarized spin-2 states using simultaneous Ramsey interferometry. In the subsequent dynamics, temporal modulation of spin-1 magnetization is observed in the spinor mixture due to the spin-dependent interaction with the spin-2 component. By comparison with numerical simulations based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we find that the observed nonferromagnetic dynamics reflect the ground-state properties of the spinor mixture.
