PX262 - G6a - interactions of moments
- from here, an electron with an orbital momentum,
has a magnetic moment:
- the magnetic moment associated with the spin is found to be almost exactly twice using relativistic quantum theory/experiments:
-
these moments separately interact with an applied magnetic field, the zeeman effect
-
they also interact with each other, spin-orbit coupling
-
combining the hamiltonians of these two interactions, the interaction energy is given by the hamiltonian:
