intrinsic angular momentum
1Angular momentum coupling — Coupling in science Classical coupling Rotational–vibrational coupling Quantum coupling Quantum mechanical coupling Rovibrational coupling Vibronic coupling Rovibronic coupling Angular momentum coupling …
2Angular momentum — For a generally accessible and less technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to angular momentum. Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
3Total angular momentum quantum number — In quantum mechanics, the total angular quantum momentum numbers parameterize the total angular momentum of a given particle, by combining its orbital angular momentum and its intrinsic angular momentum (i.e., its spin).If s is the particle s… …

9Einstein–Cartan theory — in theoretical physics extends general relativity to correctly handle spin angular momentum. As the master theory of classical physics general relativity has one known flaw: it cannot describe spin orbit coupling , i.e., exchange of intrinsic… …
10Spin quantum number — In atomic physics, the spin quantum number is a quantum number that parameterizes the intrinsic angular momentum (or spin angular momentum, or simply spin) of a given particle. The spin quantum number is the fourth of a set of quantum numbers… …
