This thesis describes a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating
a technique for stable isotope enrichment called Magnetically
Activated and Guided Isotope Separation (MAGIS). Over the past
century many enriched isotopes have become available, thanks
largely to electromagnetic separators called calutrons. Due to
substantial maintenance and operating costs, the United States
decommissioned the last of its calutrons in 1998, leading to demand
for alternative methods of isotope separation. The work presented
here suggests the promise for MAGIS as a viable alternative to the
calutrons.The MAGIS technique combines optical pumping with a
scalable magnetic field gradient to enrich atoms of a specific
isotope in an atomic beam. Benchmarking this work against the
calutron using lithium as a test case, the author demonstrated
comparable enrichment in a manner that should scale to the
production of similar quantities, while requiring vastly less
energy input.
