Optical pumping of the atom magnetic moment under spin polarization equal to zero

Possibility of preparing of an alkali-atom's state with non-zero magnetic moment and zero spin-polarization was demonstrated in this work. There are zero average values of Pauli spin operators for all coordinates in the case. We suggest using a biharmonic laser field for preparing such states....
