  2. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

    Spin is described mathematically as a vector for some particles such as photons, and as a spinor or bispinor for other particles such as electrons. Spinors and bispinors behave similarly to vectors: they have definite magnitudes and change under rotations; however, they use an unconventional "direction". All elementary particles of a given kind ...

  3. Electrohydrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrohydrodynamics

    The force acting on the fluid, is given by the equation = where, is the resulting force, measured in newtons, is the current, measured in amperes, is the distance between electrodes, measured in metres, and is the ion mobility coefficient of the dielectric fluid, measured in m 2 /(V·s).

  4. Fundamental interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

    Electromagnetism is the force that acts between electrically charged particles. This phenomenon includes the electrostatic force acting between charged particles at rest, and the combined effect of electric and magnetic forces acting between charged particles moving relative to each other.

  5. Exchange interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_interaction

    By contrast, an isolated Ni atom (electron configuration = 3d 8 4s 2) in a cubic crystal field will have two unpaired electrons of the same spin (hence, =) and would thus be expected to have in the localized electron model a total spin magnetic moment of = (but the measured spin-only magnetic moment along one axis, the physical observable, will ...

  6. Weak interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_interaction

    An interaction occurs when two particles (typically, but not necessarily, half-integer spin fermions) exchange integer-spin, force-carrying bosons. The fermions involved in such exchanges can be either elementary (e.g. electrons or quarks ) or composite (e.g. protons or neutrons ), although at the deepest levels, all weak interactions ...

  7. Spin quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_quantum_number

    A pair of electrons in a spin singlet state has S = 0, and a pair in the triplet state has S = 1, with m S = −1, 0, or +1. Nuclear-spin quantum numbers are conventionally written I for spin, and m I or M I for the z-axis component. The name "spin" comes from a geometrical spinning of the electron about an axis, as proposed by Uhlenbeck and ...

  8. Spin–orbit interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–orbit_interaction

    The spin magnetic moment of the electron is =, where is the spin (or intrinsic angular-momentum) vector, is the Bohr magneton, and = is the electron-spin g-factor. Here μ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\mu }}} is a negative constant multiplied by the spin , so the spin magnetic moment is antiparallel to the spin.

  9. Electron magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_magnetic_moment

    The spin magnetic moment is intrinsic for an electron. [3] It is = . Here S is the electron spin angular momentum. The spin g-factor is approximately two: . The factor of two indicates that the electron appears to be twice as effective in producing a magnetic moment as a charged body for which the mass and charge distributions are identical.
