This book may appeal to you if you are fascinated by the mathematical foundations and applications of quantum mechanics, particularly angular momentum. It offers a rigorous examination of the topic, perfect for those with a strong interest in theoretical physics and the mathematical underpinnings of complex quantum behaviour.

Angular Momentum in Quantum Mechanics

Offers an introduction to the angular momentum, one of the most fundamental quantities in all of quantum mechanics. Beginning with the quantization of angular momentum, spin angular momentum, and the orbital angular momentum, this title goes on to discuss the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for a two-component system.

Description

Angular Momentum in Quantum Mechanics offers a concise introduction to angular momentum, one of the most fundamental quantities in all of quantum mechanics. Beginning with the quantisation of angular momentum, spin angular momentum, and orbital angular momentum, the author discusses the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for a two-component system.

After developing the necessary mathematics, specifically spherical tensors and tensor operators, the author investigates the 3-j, 6-j, and 9-j symbols. Throughout, practical applications to atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics are provided. These include partial-wave expansions, the emission and absorption of particles, the proton and electron quadrupole moment, matrix element calculation in practice, and the properties of the symmetrical top molecule.
