NuclearSpin

NuclearSpin

is a parameter for AtomicState that specifies the nuclear angular‐momentum quantum number for the atom.

NuclearSpin[state]

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

Details and Options

  • NuclearSpin should be set to integer or half-integer values.
  • NuclearSpin is automatically threaded over a list of AtomicState objects appearing as its argument.
  • An atomic state with NuclearSpin specified is considered to be part of an atomic system of type "HyperfineZeeman", and Sublevels will expand it to its list of hyperfine and Zeeman sublevels.
