Spin And Magnetic Moment

M. Goldman

Abstract NMR deals solely with the motion of nuclear magnetic moments and their detection. In quantum mechanics, the nuclear magnetic moment is an operator proportional to another operator, called the spin. For a quantum description of NMR it is therefore essential to have a thorough knowledge of the properties of spin operators.

Pedagogical aspects of time-dependent rotation operators

C. Leubner

For tutorial purposes, the simple problem of a classical magnetic moment interacting with various magnetic field configuration is reformulated in terms of coordinate-free, time-dependent rotation operators. In this approach, the corresponding equation of motion assumes the form of an operator equation, identical with the Schrödinger equation of a spin-1 interacting with the same field configurations. It is solved utilizing deliberately the concepts of a Hermitian Hamiltonian and a unitary time evolution operator to familiarize students early in their curriculum with these important ingredients of the quantum-mechanical formalism. It turns out that besides furnishing useful exercises for the manipulation of three-dimensional rotation operators, being an end in itself, the approach also provides simple but nontrivial examples for a number of theorems for which the students will have frequent use in their quantum-mechanics course.

Electronic Magnetic Moments

David C. Jiles

This chapter discusses the prime cause of the magnetic moment within an individual atom. In the classical model, the angular momentum of the electrons can be used to determine the magnetic moments of the electrons by invoking the concept of electrical charge in motion. There are two contributions to the electronic magnetic moment: an orbital magnetic moment due to orbital angular momentum and a spin magnetic moment due to electron spin. The component of orbital angular momentum along the axis of a magnetic field is restricted to discrete values by quantum mechanics. Electrons have spin angular momentum, which can be represented by the spin quantum number. As the magnetic field is increased and the field splitting becomes greater than the multiple splitting, the anomalous Zeeman effect changes over to a normal Zeeman effect. The chapter looks at experimental evidence confirming the quantization of magnetic moments, specifically the Zeeman effect and the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
