Spin dependent selection rules for photonic transitions in hydrogen-like atoms
M. Sağlam, Ziya Saglam
Abstract
We calculate the spin dependent selection rules for photonic transitions in hydrogen-like atoms by taking the eigenfunctions of Dirac hydrogen-like atoms. It is shown that photonic transitions occur when [Δ j = 0,±l,±2 while Δ m j = 0,±1,±2]. We apply the present selection rules to the so-called parity violating transition (such as 6s → 7s in atomic Cesium Cs) and show that it is possible according to the present selection rules.
