Nuclear Magnetic Moment - Calculating The Magnetic Moment

Calculating The Magnetic Moment

In the shell model, the magnetic moment of a nucleon of total angular momentum j, orbital angular momentum l and spin s, is given by

By projecting with the total angular momentum j we get

has contributions both from the orbital angular momentum and the spin, with different coefficients g(l) and g(s):

by substituting this back to the formula above and rewriting

= {1\over (j+1)}\left(g^{(l)}{1\over 2} \left(j(j+1) + l(l+1) - s(s+1)\right) + g^{(s)}{1\over 2} \left(j(j+1) - l(l+1) + s(s+1)\right)\right)

For a single nucleon s =1/2. For we get

and for

Famous quotes containing the words calculating the, calculating, magnetic and/or moment:

    “[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “Because relationships are a primary source of self-esteem for girls and women, daughters need to know they will not lose our love if they speak up for what they want to tell us how they feel about things. . . . Teaching girls to make specific requests, rather than being indirect and agreeable, will help them avoid the pitfalls of having to be manipulative and calculating to get what they want.”
    —Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    “We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I have this very moment finished reading a novel called The Vicar of Wakefield [by Oliver Goldsmith].... It appears to me, to be impossible any person could read this book through with a dry eye and yet, I don’t much like it.... There is but very little story, the plot is thin, the incidents very rare, the sentiments uncommon, the vicar is contented, humble, pious, virtuous—but upon the whole the book has not at all satisfied my expectations.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
