Coupling between an electron’s spin and orbital motion in the electric field, contributing to fine structure.
wp-physics-spin_orbit_couplingnlab-spin-orbit-couplingnist-atomic-spectroscopyEach relation below ends at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Spin–orbit coupling appears at order in the low-energy expansion of Dirac dynamics, with many-electron and nuclear corrections treated separately.
The target is recovered from the source either in a stated mathematical or asymptotic limit, or through a quantitatively controlled approximation with identified small parameters or omitted terms. The edge label and detail must state which case applies and its regime of validity.
