  2. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Spin is an intrinsic form of angular momentum carried by elementary particles, and thus by composite particles such as hadrons, atomic nuclei, and atoms. [1] [2]: 183–184 Spin is quantized, and accurate models for the interaction with spin require relativistic quantum mechanics or quantum field theory.

  3. Spin quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_quantum_number

    During the period between 1916 and 1925, much progress was being made concerning the arrangement of electrons in the periodic table.In order to explain the Zeeman effect in the Bohr atom, Sommerfeld proposed that electrons would be based on three 'quantum numbers', n, k, and m, that described the size of the orbit, the shape of the orbit, and the direction in which the orbit was pointing. [10]

  4. Electron magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_magnetic_moment

    In atomic physics, the electron magnetic moment, or more specifically the electron magnetic dipole moment, is the magnetic moment of an electron resulting from its intrinsic properties of spin and electric charge. The value of the electron magnetic moment (symbol μ e) is −9.284 764 6917 (29) × 10 −24 J⋅T −1. [1]

  5. Classical electron radius - Wikipedia

    where is the elementary charge, is the electron mass, is the speed of light, and is the permittivity of free space. [1] This numerical value is several times larger than the radius of the proton . In cgs units , the permittivity factor and 1 4 π {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{4\pi }}} do not enter, but the classical electron radius has the same value.

  6. Magnetic quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_quantum_number

    For an electron, s is 1 ⁄ 2, and m s is either + 1 ⁄ 2 or − 1 ⁄ 2, often called "spin-up" and "spin-down", or α and β. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The term magnetic in the name refers to the magnetic dipole moment associated with each type of angular momentum, so states having different magnetic quantum numbers shift in energy in a magnetic field ...

    Here, ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ σ μν and F μν stand for the Lorentz group generators in the Dirac space, and the electromagnetic tensor respectively, while A μ is the electromagnetic four-potential. An example for such a particle [9] is the spin ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ companion to spin ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ in the D (½,1) ⊕ D (1,½) representation space of the ...

    As a second example, the methoxymethyl radical, H 3 COCH 2. the OCH 2 center will give an overall 1:2:1 EPR pattern, each component of which is further split by the three methoxy hydrogens into a 1:3:3:1 pattern to give a total of 3×4 = 12 lines, a triplet of quartets. A simulation of the observed EPR spectrum is shown and agrees with the 12 ...
