We report on a simple and versatile method by which to measure and tailor m
assive particle ensemble coherences using pulsed magnetic fields. A multipl
e wave atom interferometer is demonstrated that uses a spin-echo procedure
associated with the spatial separation of the Zeeman sublevel wave packets
induced by magnetic forces. This scheme provides a means to determine:ultra
low temperatures by measuring the sample coherence length. Furthermore, we
show how a pulsed quasiparabolic magnetic potential can be used to enhance
the atom ensemble coherence length by a factor of 2.
