Abstract
We have observed magnetic resonance of Rb atoms passing through a periodic magnetic field produced by a stack of planar arrays of parallel current-carrying wires ("magnetic lattice"). The magnetic resonance occurs between the Zeeman-split sublevels of Rb atoms when the frequency of the field oscillation that the atoms experience equals the transition frequency. A pump laser polarizes Rb atoms with a specific velocity selected by the Doppler effect and a probe laser detects the magnetic resonance. The obtained narrowest resonance lines have widths mainly determined by the transit-time broadening.
