Quantum Chemistry 7.12 - Spin-Orbit Coupling

Short lecture on spin-orbit coupling of electrons.

Orbital angular momentum L can couple with spin angular momentum S to give the total angular momentum J through spin orbit coupling. The values of J go from |L+S| to |L-S|, with values of m_J ranging from +J to -J.
