Abstract
This paper reports the first demonstration of nuclear orientation of radioactive xenon atoms by spin exchange with polarized rubidium atoms. The nuclear tensor alignment, as measured by gamma-ray anisotropy, is about 30% of the maximum possible. The magnetic dipole moments for , , and have also been measured by NMR spectroscopy. The methods developed here have possibilities for wide applications to nuclear and atomic studies of other radioactive rare-gas atoms.
