Magnetically tuned spin dynamics resonance.
We present the experimental observation of a magnetically tuned resonance phenomenon in the spin mixing dynamics of ultracold atomic gases. In particular, we study the magnetic field dependence of spin conversion in F=2 (87)Rb spinor condensates in the crossover from interaction dominated to quadratic Zeeman dominated dynamics. We discuss the observations in the framework of spin dynamics as well as matter wave four wave mixing. Furthermore, we show that the validity range of the single mode approximation for spin dynamics is significantly extended at high magnetic field.
