  Angular Momentum Coupling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
This kind of coupling is called L-S coupling or Russell-Saunders coupling, and it is found to give good agreement with the observed spectral details for many light atoms.
In light atoms, the interactions between the orbital angular momenta of individual electrons is stronger than the spin-orbit coupling between the spin and orbital angular momenta.
Another case where the overall L and S are decoupled is the case where there is a very strong external magnetic field is applied.

 LS coupling - LScoupling
The angular momentum coupling terms are the terms of the total Hamiltonian which do not commute with the subsystem individual angular momenta (or are not invariant with respect to the rotations of the subsystems).
The spin-spin coupling that exists between nuclear spin and electronic spin is responsible for the atomic hyperfine structure.
Spin-spin coupling or spin-spin splitting is the coupling of the spin angular momentum states of different particles.

 Angular momentum coupling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astronomy, spin-orbit coupling is the ratio between the frequency with which a planet or other celestial body spins about its own axis to that with which it orbits another body.
In atomic physics, spin-orbit coupling describes a weak magnetic interaction, or coupling, of the particle spin and the orbital motion of this particle, e.g.
In Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spin-spin coupling is a kind of weak interaction between the spin of a nucleus and the spins of nearby nuclei.

For 1snl configurations, L = l and S = 0 or 1, i.e., the terms are singlets (S = 0) or triplets (S = 1).
The centrality of LS coupling in the analysis and theoretical interpretation of atomic spectra has led to the acceptance of notations and nomenclature well adapted to discussions of particular structures and spectra [2].

 The Zeeman Effect in Atomic Mercury
In a helium-like system, the total angular momentum J of the atom is determined solely by the total angular momentum of the two valence electrons, since the orbital and intrinsic spin angular momenta of the electrons in the closed-shell, inert core are coupled to zero.

 Arrangements of electrons in atoms 4.1.1 (via CobWeb/3.1 vn1.cs.wustl.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In general, the orbits with any given value of l are still numbered serially by n, starting with n = l + 1 (circular orbit), but the energy now depends on l too.
In wave mechanics, n − l − 1 is the number of nodes (zeros) in the radial factor in the wave function.
The magnitude of L is specified by a capital letter (S, P, D...), and the resultant spin S is specified by writing the number 2S + 1 as a superscript: the relative orientation of L and S merely affects the magnetic energy and splits the terms into 2S + 1 (or fewer) levels.

A time dependent magnetic dipole moment m=IA causes the total spin S to reorient relative to the total orbital angular momentum L, changing the J of the atom by emission of radiation.
The large charge of the nucleus causes the field produced by the relative motion of the electron and the nucleus to couple to its spin.
Thus the spin-own-orbit interaction becomes competitive with the spin-spin and orbit-orbit interactions, producing a complex coupling somewhere between LS and jj.

To digress, there are two limiting cases for the coupling of angular momenta in multi-electronic systems: Russell Saunders or LS coupling and JJ coupling.
It has been shown that while the two schemes produce similar trends in derived quantities, there is an important “shift” between the results of the two schemes, thus generating very different results on an element by element basis.

 Angle-Resolved 2-D Spectra
Light atoms, such as neon, are typically treated in a theoretical framework known as LS coupling.
In this study, according to LS coupling, signals should vanish at 0° along c, so the observation of any signal at this angle is an immediate indication of the breakdown of LS coupling.
The important implication of the detection of such prominent spin-orbit effects is that it is not safe to assume the validity of LS coupling, even for low-lying excitations in a system as light as neon.

"Coupling MADYMO and LS-DYNA3D was the most technically challenging aspect of the whole project, but one that was critical to the success of the seat," says Joseph Formicola, the Hoff Vice President in charge of the JCI project.
Head Injury Criteria (HIC) and chest gs, provided by MADYMO, were used to determine the survival or "death" of the dummy while the output from LS-DYNA3D allowed the evaluation of the structural integrity of the seat in the simulated sled test.
The coupling file also contained all the contact definitions between the dummy with the toepan, the seat belt, the cushion pan, and the back of the seat.

The code is written for an LS- coupling scheme, with options to include Breit-Pauli terms in the Hamiltonian and recouple the matrices to an intermediate-coupling scheme.
The running time in a realistic calculation tends to be dominated by three processes: (a) calculating angular integrals in STG2, particularly for open d-shell targets; (b) diagonalizing large Hamiltonian matrices in STGH, an n**3 process, where n is the size of the Hamiltonian and is proportional to the number of channels and basis terms.
(c) solving the coupled equations in the external region, depends on the number of scattering energies required as well as the number of channels.

 ALSNews Vol. 121 February 17, 1999
In the case of neon, a more complex system, early photoabsorption experiments demonstrated a departure from the predictions of LS coupling in the fine-structure splittings of the photoionization spectra.
For example, in this study, according to LS coupling, signals in some cases should vanish at 0°, so the observation of any signal at 0° in those cases is an immediate indication of the breakdown of LS coupling.
The important implication of the detection of prominent spin-orbit effects is that it is not safe to assume the validity of LS coupling, even for low-lying excitations in a system as light as neon.

 LS Series
EAW's LS Series of line source loudspeaker systems brings the classic column speaker up-to-date.
The internal passive crossover/filter network uses complex, asymmetrical slopes to integrate the subsystems and goes beyond merely dividing the signal to perform critical equalization functions.
Like the classic column speakers of the '50s and 60's, the LS Series was designed to solve speech-only installation problems in highly reverberant spaces with low ceilings and hard floors.

 Coupling Schemes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Because the two processes involve independent summations, they can be carried out in any order, giving rise to different coupling schemes.
The most suitable coupling scheme for a particular atom will be determined by the relative importance of the various residual interactions not accounted for in the central field model.
The most common coupling schemes are known as LS and jj coupling.

 Zeeman effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was called "anomalous" because the electron spin had not yet been discovered, and so there was no good explanation for it, at the time that Zeeman observed the effect.
If the magnetic field strength is too high, the effect is no longer linear; at even higher field strength, electron coupling is disturbed and the spectral lines rearrange.
The splitting depends upon the l level being considered.

 List of Hund's rules - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rules assume that the repulsion between the outer electrons is very much greater than the spin-orbit interaction which is in turn stronger than any other remaining interactions.
This is referred to as the LS coupling regime.

The coupling to LS-DYNA has been extended so that users gain full flexibility in their choice of dummy models.
Where the traditional coupling allowed only MADYMO ellipsoids and planes to contact entities in the coupled code, now contact can also be defined with MADYMO FE (and facets).
This enables the best and latest MADYMO dummy models, subsystem models, barrier models and human models to be applied in the coupling.

A comment on the calculation of atomic energy levels in LS coupling using relativistic radial integrals
Relativistic effects have been included in non-relativistic term energies in some recent work by relating to non-relativistic radial integrals.
It is seen that the need for a non-relativistic term energy is principally one of labelling the eigenstates of the atomic system according to some single-configuration coupling scheme, which could be achieved by a coupling transformation from the basic jj-coupled schemes used in relativistic atomic structure calculations.
