Spin dynamics in a 3-domain non-degenerate Bose gas

POSTER

Abstract

We explore the spin dynamics of a magnetically-trapped weakly-interacting non-degenerate ultracold Bose gas. In this atomic system, macroscopic spin oscillations are created due to the identical spin rotation effect in binary collisions between indistinguishable atoms. We create quasi-one-dimensional spin structures with three domains and study the effect of the domain widths and domain wall widths on the behavior of spin oscillations in a gas of Rubidium-87.
