摘要：

We have observed Larmor spin precession in the ground state of laser-cooled Rb-85 atoms through paramagnetic Faraday rotation. We have been able to obtain a precision of 18 pT in the determination of the applied magnetic field! which proves the usefulness of laser-cooled atoms as an atomic magnetometer.
