Angular Momentum on the Lattice: The Case of Non-Zero Linear Momentum

The irreducible representations (IRs) of the double cover of the Euclidean group with parity in three dimensions are subduced to the corresponding cubic space group. The reduction of these representations gives the mapping of continuum angular momentum states to the lattice in the case of non-zero linear momentum. The continuous states correspond to lattice states with the same momentum and con...

Angular Momentum in Chemistry

Noting that current chemical theory is based almost exclusively on electronic energy and spin variables the equal importance of orbital angular momentum is explored in this paper. From its classical definition the angular momentum of electrons in an atom is shown to obey Laplace’s equation, which automatically leads to discrete values in terms of spherical harmonics. This analysis assumes a con...

Rotations and Angular Momentum

2 Exercise. Prove it. ◦ In fact, as sophisticates can show you, on a complex space a linear operator which preserves all norms will also preserve all inner products. But the key thing is to remember is that a unitary operator preserves all inner products (and therefore all norms). • This is analogous to the fact that translations and rotations in ordinary three-dimensional space preserve distan...
