dear members,
My problem is...
suppose take the spin Hamiltonian Hham=D[Sz2 -S(S+1)/3 +(E/D)(Sy2-Sy2)] +Hi\vec{S} (most often in EPR experiments, etc).
here external magnetic field Hamiltonian Hi = \betagiBiext and i =x, y and z. Also gx=gy=gz=2 and the external magnetic field is parallel/along z-axis. Ms is the magnetic quantum number.
What i don't know.. Using S=5/2 and writing down in the |5/2,Ms> representation yields a matrix (from the above spin Hamiltonian)...I really don't know how to write it.(may be in other words how to label spin Hamiltonian by Ms )..But i have the solution...Can anyone help me?? I am really frustrated about this problem..
advance thanks for helping me..

First, it looks like you have some typos in your expression for H_{ham}. E.g., S_y^2 - S_y^2 is just zero. Also, the last term appears to be a vector.

But, anyways, I think you should start by writing down what S_z looks like in the basis. Then write what S_+ (the raising operator) looks like and then what S_- looks like.

Hi olgran, I corrected my error..
thanks for replying
 
Hi Olgran, I got a hint from your reply..(S- and S+)...based on ur hint...i am on the way:- solving my problem..hopefully i can solve it..after working on big 6x6 matrices..
thanks

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
