Another question concerning spin-orbit coupling. I have read that phosphorescense might be caused by spin-orbit coupling. How can that be explained? Thanks a lot

Is it the nucleus' magnetic field that gives rise to the different energy states? - which makes the different LS-couplings have different energies, and futhermore makes splitting occur

Hi everyone. Im reading quantum chemistry due to an exam, but there are a few things, that I am not sure of: 1. I'm not sure, but as far as i understand, there is coupling between spin and orbital angular momentum, but if L = 0, in an S-orbital: is there then any coupling ? 2. Does...
