QM: Energy degeneracy at s=1/2 with 3 spin half particles
It turned out they are actually, I solved the problem later on. The hamiltoinian will give you two energystates both with degeneracy 4. It is also fully possible to solve the states by first finding the spin for two particles and then add the third. I was not looking for the coefficients, so...- Species8472

QM: Energy degeneracy at s=1/2 with 3 spin half particles
I have a hamiltonian: H = J\left(\frac{1}{2\hbar^2}S_{tot}^2 - \frac{9}{8}\right) where S_{tot} = S_1 + S_2 + S_3 for 3 spin half particles in a cluster. The magnetic properties are governed entirely by their spin. I have set up the possible spin combinations from Clebsch-Gordan to be: From...- Species8472
