N2 - The evolution of the radio-frequency magnetic resonance spectrum of optically oriented potassium atoms in terrestrial magnetic fields as a function of the amplitude of the alternating magnetic field H1 is investigated theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that among the set of observed n-quantum resonances which satisfy the selection rules ΔF = 0 and ΔmF = ± n (n is an integer), there is one resonance with the highest multiplicity n = 4 (mF =2 ⇔ mF = -2), which has exceptional properties. These qualities make this resonance a candidate for use in a weak-field quantum magnetometer with record-high characteristics. A preliminary investigation of an experimental model of a four-quantum potassium magnetometer is performed.
