L

is a parameter for AtomicState that specifies the electronic orbital angular‐momentum quantum number for the state.

L[state]

returns the value specified for L in AtomicState state, or L[StateLabel[state]] if it is not specified.

Details and Options

L should be set to integer values.
L is used to determine the -factor for an atomic state. If the parameter GFactor is specified, or the -factor is not required, then the value of L is not used.
L is automatically threaded over a list of AtomicState objects appearing as its argument.

Examples

Two-level atomic system with Zeeman structure.

The values of L, S, and J are used to find the Landé -factor for each state.

The -factor enters in the magnetic-field interaction Hamiltonian.
