Thegeneration of the population oscillation of the multicomponent spinor Bose-Einsteincondensate is demonstrated in this paper. We observe and examinethe nonsynchronous decreasing processes of the magnetic fields generated betweenquadrupole coils and Ioffe coils during the switch-off of thequadrupole-Ioffe-configuration trap, which is considered to induce a nonadiabatic transition.Starting from the two-level Schrödinger equation, we have done somenumerical fitting and derived an analytical expression identical to theresults of Majorana and Zener, of which both results wellmatch the experimental data.
