Orbital angular moment

The dipole moment m depends on the total angular momentum, which may be written in terms of the orbital angular moment operator L and the total eleetron spin S. 

In these expressions, e and N refer to electron and nucleus, respectively, Lg is the orbital angular moment operator, rg is the distance between the electron and nnclens. In and Sg are the corresponding spins, and reN) is the Dirac delta fnnction (eqnal to 1 at rgN = 0 and 0 otherwise). The other constants are well known in NMR. It is worth mentioning that eqs. 3.8 and 3.9 show the interaction of nnclear spins with orbital and dipole electron moments. It is important that they not reqnire the presence of electron density directly on the nuclei, in contrast to Fermi contact interaction, where it is necessary. 

These are derived frum a. lensui force resulting from a coupling between individual pairs of nucleons and from the coupling between spin and orbital angular moments of the individual nucleus, as described by the shell model of the nucleus. 

In a free multielectron atom or ion, the spin and orbital angular moments of the electrons couple to give a total angular momentum represented in the Russell-Saunders scheme by the quantum number J. Since J arises from vectorial addition of L (the total orbital quantum number) and 5 (total spin quantum number), it may take integral (or half-integral... 

For a solid to interact with a magnetic field intensity, it must possess a net magnetic moment which, as discussed momentarily, is related to the angular momentum of the electrons, as a result of either their revolution around the nucleus and/or their revolution around themselves. The former gives rise to an orbital angular moment whereas the latter is the spin angular moment /ij. The sum of these two contributions is the total angular moment of an atom or ion, /ijon-... 

This investigation has also shown the importance of spin-orbit coupling in the case of the metal-Mu adduct, where strong orbital angular moments are expected for the case of electrons in transition metal atoms. Of particular... 

The relativistic Hamilton operator for an electron can be derived, using the correspondence principle, from its relativistic classical Hamiltonian and this leads to the one-electron Dirac equation, which does contain spin operators. From the one-electron Dirac equation it seems trivial to define a many-electron relativistic equation, but the generalization to more electrons is less straightforward than in the non-relativistic case, because the electron-electron interaction is not unambiguously defined. The non-relativistic Coulomb interaction is often used as a reasonable first approximation. The relativistic treatment of atoms and molecules based on the many-electron Dirac equation leads to so-called four-component methods. The name stems from the fact that the electronic wave functions consist of four instead of two components. When the couplings between spin and orbital angular moment are comparable to the electron-electron interactions this is the preferred way to explain the electronic structure of the lowest states. 

Predict the (non-)existence of a net orbital angular moment for the high-spin d electronic configuration in complexes with tetrahedral, octahedral and C2v symmetry. 

Independent of the value of S or Ms, this product is strictly zero since we assumed that the ground state has no orbital angular moment. This is often referred to in the...
