S , quantum number

Beeause the level with this L and S quantum numbers eontains (2L+1)(2S+1) states with Ml and Ms quantum numbers running from -L to L and from -S to S, respeetively, one must remove from the original box this number of produet states. To do so, one simply erases from the box one entry with eaeh sueh Ml and Ms value. Aetually, sinee the box need only show those entries with non-negative Ml and Ms values, only these entries need be explieitly deleted. In the example, this amounts to deleting nine produet states with Ml, Ms values of 1,1 1,0 1,-1 0,1 0,0 0,-1 -1,1 -1,0 -1,-1. 

Furthermore, LandS s theory only represents a first-order approximation, and the L and S quantum numbers only behave as good quantum numbers when spin-orbit coupling is neglected. It is interesting to note that the most modem method for establishing the atomic ground state and its configuration is neither chemical nor spectroscopic in the usual sense of the word but makes use of atomic beam techniques (38). 

Bohr s quantum numbers (n, l, m) have fully entered chemistry, and every chemistry student learns about the symbols Is, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d etc. It is hence a startling fact that the simple energy rule has not entered any major chemistry textbooks, as far as I know, and it is still this rule which gives the first explanation of the occurrence of the transition metals, the rare-earth metals, and the over-all structure of the electronic shells of atoms, (p.334). 

Among the many ways to go beyond the usual Restricted Hartree-Fock model in order to introduce some electronic correlation effects into the ground state of an electronic system, the Half-Projected Hartree-Fock scheme, (HPHF) proposed by Smeyers [1,2], has the merit of preserving a conceptual simplicity together with a relatively straigthforward determination. The wave-function is written as a DODS Slater determinant projected on the spin space with S quantum number even or odd. As a result, it takes the form of two DODS Slater determinants, in which all the spin functions are interchanged. The spinorbitals have complete flexibility, and should be determined from applying the variational principle to the projected determinant. 

Here wi, W2, W3 are parameters characterizing the representations of group Rj u, U2 stand for the corresponding quantities of group G2 v is the seniority quantum number, defined in a simpler way in Chapter 9. On the other hand, the eigenvalues of the Casimir operator of group i 2(+i may be expressed in the following way by v and S quantum numbers... 

The relaxation equations discussed here and in Section 3.4 and 3.5 take a different form in the case of lanthanides and actinides. For these systems, in fact, the J quantum number substitutes the S quantum number and gj substitutes ge. In the absence of chemical exchange phenomena (r 1 r ) the equations for the... 

To each pair of orbits belongs a certain quantum number, r. For the inner orbit r = 1, for the second group r = 2, for the third group r = 2, for the fourth and fifth r = 3, and for the sixth group r = 4. According to this distribution the number of electrons in an orbit (except the innermost) equals the square of the orbit s quantum number. 

But Tb3+ has 4ft configuration and ML 1 0. For it, therefore, there is both orbital and spin contribution of magnetic moment and resultant quantum number J used for calculating magnetic moment is obtained by Russell-Saunders coupling of L and S quantum numbers. 

Taking advantage of the symmetry properties of the Sanibel coefficients, this linear combination (6) was seen to contain only spin eigenstates with even S quantum number, i.e, singlets, quintuplets, etc.. ... 

Thus, two different states of the atom are possible for the given I and mj. They differ from each other in the values of s. Three quantum numbers determine the space variables of the electron, its energy and the s quantum number determines a specific property of the electron, its spin. 

The path of the electron around the nucleus, like that of a planet around the sun, is an ellipse rather than a circle. W. Wilson and A. Sommerfeld (see above) showed that Bohr s quantum number w, tht principal quantum number ...

In summary, the n, I, and mi quantum numbers are defining the size, the shape, and the orientation in space of the AOs, respectively. In addition to those three quantum numbers, the spin quantum number s defines the intrinsic angular momentum of the electron (s = ). This spin quantum number is an intrinsic property of the electron. Similar to the orbital angular momentum , the spin angular momentum s has quantized projections onto an arbitrary direction (for example, on the z axis), which is commonly represented as spin-up and spin-down with up and down arrows (wij = —-l-j). The wij value is the fourth quantum number of the electron (the s quantum number is fixed anyway to a single value). Because of this spin quantization value, the Pauli exclusion principle allows two electrons with opposite spins (opposite wij values) in the same orbital (i.e., with the first three quantum numbers that are identical). 

The waveflmctions derived from the CEF treatment outlined above are tabulated as a function of R for the R2CUO4 series in table 6. Table 7 includes the same results for the RBa2Cu307. Only the strongest waveftmction coefficients with L and S quantum numbers of the ground level are included. We note that the wavefiinctions have not been renormalized to 1. 

The values of the allowed quantum numbers s and are more restricted than for and m. All electrons have a value of s =. The value of s, it turns out, is a characteristic of a type of subatomic particle, and all electrons have the same value for their s quantum number. For the possible values of the z component of the spin, there is a similar relationship to the possible values of and goes from —s to... 

The situation is not as complicated as it might seem, because L and S are determined from the vector combinations of the individual f, and s quantum numbers from the electrons in the unfilled shell. Consider the simplest case, two electrons in the outermost, unfilled subshell. (Remember that filled subshells contribute no net orbital or spin angular momentum.) Two electrons having individual orbital angular momenta f and 2 can couple so that the net orbital angular momentum can have the possible values...
