The spin transition is an example of transition between two electronic states in molecular chemistry. The ability of an electron to transit from a stable to another stable (or metastable ) electronic state in a reversible and detectable fashion, makes these molecular systems appealing in the field of molecular electronics .
The spin magnetic moment of the electron is =, where is the spin (or intrinsic angular-momentum) vector, is the Bohr magneton, and = is the electron-spin g-factor. Here μ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\mu }}} is a negative constant multiplied by the spin , so the spin magnetic moment is antiparallel to the spin.
The spin of a charged particle is associated with a magnetic dipole moment with a g-factor that differs from 1. (In the classical context, this would imply the internal charge and mass distributions differing for a rotating object. [4]) The conventional definition of the spin quantum number is s = n / 2 , where n can be any non-negative ...
In physics and chemistry, a selection rule, or transition rule, formally constrains the possible transitions of a system from one quantum state to another. Selection rules have been derived for electromagnetic transitions in molecules , in atoms , in atomic nuclei , and so on.
Schematic equal-time spin correlation functions for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials both above and below versus the distance normalized by the correlation length, . In all cases, correlations are strongest nearest to the origin, indicating that a spin has the strongest influence on its nearest neighbors.
One example of Rabi flopping is the spin flipping within a quantum system containing a spin-1/2 particle and an oscillating magnetic field. We split the magnetic field into a constant 'environment' field, and the oscillating part, so that our field looks like = + = + ( + ()) where and are the strengths of the environment and the oscillating fields respectively, and is the frequency at ...
For example, the isotopes of oxygen include 17 O(5/2+), meaning that the spin is 5/2 and the parity is even. The shell model explains this because the first 16 nucleons are paired so that each pair has spin zero and even parity, and the last nucleon is in the 1d 5/2 shell, which has even parity since ℓ = 2 for a d orbital.

In quantum physics, Fermi's golden rule is a formula that describes the transition rate (the probability of a transition per unit time) from one energy eigenstate of a quantum system to a group of energy eigenstates in a continuum, as a result of a weak perturbation.
