I'm working on a problem where I want to write the operator [itex] S_z [/itex] down in terms of some operator(s) in the [itex] \vec{J} = \vec{L} + \vec{S} [/itex] basis so that I can operate [itex] S_z [/itex] on the states [itex]\mid \ell, s=1/2, j= \ell\pm1/2, m\rangle[/itex] but I'm having trouble finding the correct combination of operators to do so.
Is this possible, and if so could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
