title: Electron-spin-resonance instability in two-dimensional atomic hydrogen gas.
abstract: We study by electron-spin-resonance spin-polarized atomic hydrogen adsorbed on the surface of superfluid helium at temperatures T(S) from 50 to 110 mK. The average dipolar field in this 2D system shifts the electron-spin-resonance peak of the adsorbed atoms relative to that of bulk atoms. The shift is directly proportional to surface density. The role of longitudinal magnetization relaxation is played by particle exchange between the 2D and the 3D phases, which diminishes exponentially with decreasing T(S). Therefore at T(S) less, similar 80 mK an excitation field of 0.1 mG disturbs the equilibrium surface density and leads to a magnetization instability observed as sawtooth shaped resonance lines.
