Lecture
Isolated Magnetic Moments: Spin-Orbit Coupling
Description
This lecture delves into the concept of spin-orbit coupling, explaining its origin in the observation of fine structure in atomic spectra. The instructor discusses how the coupling depends on the product of spin and orbital angular momentum, influenced by the charge of the nucleus. The lecture also explores the differences between LS coupling and JJ coupling, showcasing examples with carbon and lead atoms.
