A question concerning atoms in magnetic fields:
Why does the LS-coupling break down in a strong magnetic field (Paschen-Back effect)? I have until now only gotten this stated as a fact, but if anyone could give a few arguments it would be appreciated. Why aren't the individual components of [tex]\mu_s[/tex] and [tex]\mu_l[/tex] quantised in weak fields?
