ANGULAR MOMENTUM STATES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4125944

Theoretical techniques are incorporated into a unified but concise treatment of crystal field theory. Emphasis is placed on angular momentum states and the so-called Clebsch-Gordan and Racah coefficients, which arise in the handling of such states. In order to illustrate the use of the formalism introduced in connection with the angular momentum states, a simple problem in quantum mechanics is solved in detail. The problem brings out some features of atomic systems such as the Zeeman effect and spinorbit coupling, and illustrates the use of first- and secondorder degenerate perturbation theory. (auth)
