  2. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

    The conventional definition of the spin quantum number is s = ⁠ n / 2 ⁠, where n can be any non-negative integer. Hence the allowed values of s are 0, ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, 1, ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, 2, etc. The value of s for an elementary particle depends only on the type of particle and cannot be altered in any known way (in contrast to the spin ...

  3. Spin quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_quantum_number

    The component of the spin along a specified axis is given by the spin magnetic quantum number, conventionally written m s. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The value of m s is the component of spin angular momentum, in units of the reduced Planck constant ħ , parallel to a given direction (conventionally labelled the z –axis).

    The sum over r covers other degrees of freedom specific for the field, such as polarization or spin; it usually comes out as a sum from 1 to 2 or from 1 to 3. E p is the relativistic energy for a momentum p quantum of the field, = m 2 c 4 + c 2 p 2 {\textstyle ={\sqrt {m^{2}c^{4}+c^{2}\mathbf {p} ^{2}}}} when the rest mass is m .

    Each of these figures depicts the result of a rotation relative to an upright starting position (bottom left) and includes the matrix representation of the permutation applied by the rotation (center right), as well as other related diagrams. See "Permutation notation" on Wikiversity for details.

  7. Spin angular momentum of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_angular_momentum_of_light

    The general expression for the spin angular momentum is [1] =, where is the speed of light in free space and is the conjugate canonical momentum of the vector potential.The general expression for the orbital angular momentum of light is =, where = {,,,} denotes four indices of the spacetime and Einstein's summation convention has been applied.

  8. Spin-1/2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-1/2

    Spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particles can have a permanent magnetic moment along the direction of their spin, and this magnetic moment gives rise to electromagnetic interactions that depend on the spin. One such effect that was important in the discovery of spin is the Zeeman effect , the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the ...

  9. Spin model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_model

    A spin model is a mathematical model used in physics primarily to explain magnetism. Spin models may either be classical or quantum mechanical in nature. Spin models have been studied in quantum field theory as examples of integrable models. Spin models are also used in quantum information theory and computability theory in theoretical computer ...
