J

J

is a parameter for AtomicState that specifies the total electronic angularmomentum (orbital plus spin) quantum number for the state.

J[state]

returns the value specified for J in AtomicState state, or zero if it is not specified.

Details and Options

  • The value specified for J should be integer or half-integer.
  • J is automatically threaded over a list of AtomicState objects appearing as its argument.
  • An atomic state with J but not NuclearSpin specified is considered to be part of an atomic system of type "Zeeman", and Sublevels will expand it to its list of Zeeman sublevels.
