Spectroscopy orbital moment

Almost all the parameters yielded by the various types of radiofrequency spectroscopy arise from the interaction of nuclear magnetic or electrostatic moments with the magnetic or electrostatic fields produced by the surrounding electrons. A consideration of the way these interactions arise shows that they fall into two groups one of the groups contains terms proportional to the electron density at the nucleus, N, itself, Vn(0), and consequently reflects only the s-character of the wave-function centered on N, v>n while the other is proportional to the value for all or some of the electrons surroimding the nucleus N (Table 1). This latter term vanishes for s-type orbitals and for p, d, f orbitals of the same principal quantum number has values in the order p > > d > > f. In practice this means that in a first approximation, only p-electrons contribute to and that the direct effect of the d-orbitals is only... 

It was noted earlier that, in the absence of spin-orbit coupling, the spin part of the magnetic moment operator makes no contribution to MCD and spin degeneracy also plays no role in MCD spectroscopy. It was also noted that neglecting spin-orbit coupling led to qualitative errors in the predicted MCD spectra of some spin-degenerate systems. In this section we will present equations for the additional contributions to MCD that occur once spin-orbit coupling is included.
