  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 (total) spin quantum number has only one value for every elementary particle. Some introductory chemistry textbooks describe m s as the spin quantum number, [6] [7] and s is not mentioned since its value ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ is a fixed property of the electron; some even use the variable s in place of m s. [5]

  4. Spin–orbit interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–orbit_interaction

    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.

  5. Spinor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor

    A spinor visualized as a vector pointing along the Möbius band, exhibiting a sign inversion when the circle (the "physical system") is continuously rotated through a full turn of 360°. [a] In geometry and physics, spinors (pronounced "spinner" IPA / s p ɪ n ər /) are elements of a complex vector space that can be associated with Euclidean ...

  6. Angular momentum coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum_coupling

    Spinspin coupling is the coupling of the intrinsic angular momentum of different particles. J-coupling between pairs of nuclear spins is an important feature of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as it can provide detailed information about the structure and conformation of molecules.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_elementary...

    The total wave functions are in the tensor product space of the Hilbert space of the spatial part (which is spanned by the position eigenstates) and the Hilbert space for the spin. Wave function The word "wave function" could mean one of following: A vector in Hilbert space which can represent a state; synonymous to "ket" or "state vector".

  8. Triplet state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplet_state

    In quantum mechanics, a triplet state, or spin triplet, is the quantum state of an object such as an electron, atom, or molecule, having a quantum spin S = 1. It has three allowed values of the spin's projection along a given axis m S = −1, 0, or +1, giving the name "triplet".

  9. Spin structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_structure

    In particle physics the spin–statistics theorem implies that the wavefunction of an uncharged fermion is a section of the associated vector bundle to the spin lift of an SO(N) bundle E. Therefore, the choice of spin structure is part of the data needed to define the wavefunction, and one often needs to sum over these choices in the partition ...
