The influence of longitudinal magnetic-field gradient on the transverse relaxation rate of cesium atoms

Reducing the transverse relaxation rate of alkali atoms is crucial to improve the sensitivity of the magnetometers. In a perturbative treatment of the effects of the magnetic-field gradients, the transverse relaxation rates of alkali atoms are predicted to be proportional to the square of the longit...
