Nuclear spin Definition and 26 Threads

Hello! This is quite technical, but any advice would be greatly appreciated (@Twigg ?). It is about this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.02650.pdf. In principle, beside the EDM, we also have spin dependent parity violating (time-reversal conserving) effects. This is always true, as we need a...

I'm not sure where this post belongs--here, or nuclear chemistry, quantum mechanics, NMR spectroscopy, etc. Moderator--please feel free to move it to a better location. I'm wondering if a container of liquid hydrogen subjected to a strong magnetic field would have both nuclei of each atom...

Homework Statement A certain odd-parity shell-model state can hold up to a maximum of 4 nucleons. What are its values of J and L? What about an odd-parity shell-model state with a maximum of 6 nucleons? Homework Equations Parity = (-1)L J = L+S Total angular momentum, J, is equal to orbital...

NMR textbooks often state that an ensemble of nuclei cannot absorb the excitation radiowaves if the spin population is "saturated" (wherein "saturated" is often described as equal spin population in all energy states, or a population inversion). But these same NMR textbooks show that a 180...

Other than Helium do Noble gases with even nuclear spin form superfluids? Is there a simple quantum mechanical explanation why the difference below of the Melting point and Boiling point of the Noble gases is roughly the same value? A yes or no would suffice. From...

On the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_uranium, some of the superscripts have, besides the atomic number, also an "m". For example, besides the usual isotope 234U with spin 0+, there is also the isotope 234mU (with nuclear spin 6-). What is this "m"? While I am at it, what is the...

Can anyone explain to me why angular momentum of F-19 equals to J=1/2, but if we calculate J with the shell model the result is J=5/2. Thank you

Homework Statement Hello, I'm asked to show the equivalence of the given Hamiltonian below which describes the interaction between an electron and a nucleus and the following Hamiltonian The Attempt at a Solution [/B] I've simply written down each Hamiltonian as a sum of four tensor...

Hello everyone, When I look at the isotope lists, I always see only one nuclear spin for a specific isotope. (Why) can't an isotope have different nuclear spin types that are stable? I know metastable isotopes exist, but I am asking about the stable isotopes. Can't there be a case where the...

Homework Statement A singly ionized atom exhibits hyperfine structure in a ##^3P_1 \rightarrow ^3S_1## transition. Assuming ##I## is greater than ##J## and given that the ##^3S_1## levels are split by ##66~GHz## and ##54~GHz##, find the nuclear spin ##I##. Homework Equations E_{HFS} =...

Hi pf, Please could someone kindly answer a few questions about proton spin in the context of MRI. As I understand it when an external static magnetic field is applied to a patient the magnetic dipole moments of the protons in the hydrogen nuclei will experience a torque causing them to align...

So, my current understanding of spin is that when particles with a certain spin state hit a stern gerlach device, their wavefunction is split into components, deflection associated with one of the pure spin states aligned with the device. For spin 1/2 particles, there are only supposed to be two...

I was trying to calculate the ##^{19}_{9}F_{10}## nuclear spin using the nuclear shell method. From what i know the nuclear spin for a nucleous with odd ##A## is the total angular momentum ##J## of the stand-alone nucleon: P: ##(1d_{5 \backslash 2})^1## (stand-alone nucleon) N: ##(1d_{5...

Suppose we define the total angular momentum as F = I+J where I is the nuclear spin angular momentum and J is the total electronic angular momentum. mF and mJ are the respective magnetic quantum numbers. The relevant F selection rules are delta_mF = 0, 1 and -1, delta_F = 0, 1 and -1. And...

hello, i am new in this forum , :) i want to ask if anyone know how to calculate the nuclear spin of an atom in general, i searched in google i didnt find any method of calculation :/ can anyone help me please, thanks

Hello all, I am having trouble understanding how this works. In Krane there arises a discussion on total angular momentum I of the deuteron. While it is true it has three components, namely the individual spins of the neutron and proton, but also the orbital angular momentum l of the nucleons...

hi i have a question about nuclear spin if the number of protons and neutrons is even, then my chemistry book says, that the nuclear spin is always zero. i guess that the reason is, that there are always 2 protons and 2 neutrons in one state with opposite spin and therefore the overall...

What are the criteria for an atom to have non-zero nuclear spin? This is not homework. Thanks, Jake

Homework Statement Oxygen 17, work out j (nuclear spin)Hi. Assume oxygen 17 atom. j is supposed to be 5/2. How does one work this out? from what i gather, l for protons is 1, and l for neutrons is 2. How does one work out j, and what would s be? Partly what I'm confused about is for the...

Hi all. Can anyone tell me why in the equation of the magnetic field due to a nuclear's spin has radius dependence? How come? B=-u0 uI / 2 pi R^3 (sorry about the typing, I don't know how to type a porper equation..) Thanks in advance

hey I am a bit confused re the difference between nuclear spin and isospin. are they the same thing? thanks

Temperature in a nuclear spin 1/2 system?? Homework Statement A solid at temperature T contains 10^20 protons which have a spin I = 1/2 and a nuclear g-factor of 5.59. Calculate the temperature such that 75% of the protons have their magnetic dipole moment aligned parallel to the applied...

Is there a formula for determining the total spin of a nucleus? I know protons and neutrons have 1/2 spin and I know even number A nuclei have 0 spin. But I don’t know how the spin is determined for values larger than 1/2. For example: 55Fe spin 3/2 56Co spin 4 57Co spin 7/2...

After reading Seth Lloyd's book “Programming the Universe”(only once) I came up with a few questions. The way I understand it... He describes the fabric of space-time as consisting of an endless array of casual space (wires) and matter(quantum gates). The wires tell information where to go and...

I understand that the spin and parity of the nucleus is determined by looking at hte unpaired nucleon (is that the correct way of saying it?). But what if we were looking at nulceus where 2 or more nucleons were excited from the ground state?? What would the spin and parity of the nucleus be...

How would one predict the total spin of a nucleus given Z, N and the shell model? Does it have to to do with even-even, even-odd, odd-odd nuclei?
