Abstract
We have demonstrated the first two species maser. Ensembles of and gas, co-located in a double-chamber glass cell, performed simultaneous maser oscillations on their nuclear spin- Zeeman transitions. This new device may be used for experiments requiring precision magnetometry combined with frequency measurement of a second free-running species operating in the same volume. For example, the maser may serve as a magnetometer, while the maser may be used to search for a permanent electric dipole moment of the atom as a test of time reversal symmetry.
