Abstract

Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons in superfluid He3B is experimentally manifested by various states where coherent spin precession is established spontaneously, even in nonhomogeneous magnetic fields. Once such a condensate with coherent spin precession is created, it occupies the state with minimal energy, the ground state. The application of an additional magnetic field to that condensate may cause its deflection from the energy minimum and the condensate responds by creating collective gapless oscillations known as Goldstone modes. This Letter reports the experimental observation of a new (non-)Goldstone mode, which can be viewed as an additional NMR mode of condensed magnons in a rotating frame of reference.
