• Stern and Gerlach 1922: Ag atoms through a non-uniform magnetic field
• Phipps and Taylor 1927: same observation with H atoms (L=0!)
The beam split in two. This marked the discovery of the electron spin. A new type of internal angular momentum, with a quantum number that can take on only two values, s=½, ms=±½
Spin is fundamentally different from orbital momentum! No classical analogon!

From spectra of complex atoms, Wolfgang Pauli (1925) deduced a new rule:
“In a given atom, no two electrons* can be in the same quantum state, i.e. they cannot have the same set of quantum numbers n, l, ml , ms”
→ every “atomic orbital with n,l,ml” can hold 2 electrons: (↑↓) Systems of bosons have symmetric, fermions have antisymmetric
wave function → Fermi and Bose statistics → explains stability of atoms
“Pauli Exclusion Principle”
*Note: More generally, no two identical fermions (any particle with spin of ħ/2, 3ħ/2, etc.) can be in the same quantum state.

Orbital motion and magnetic moment
• Magnetic moment proportional to angular momentum remains true with relativity and QM.
• Orbital angular momentum and magnetic moment: g = 1
• Classical ring current
• Angular momentum
• Torque causing precession
• Magneton:

Magnetic moment proportional to spin
The ratio of magnetic moment to “spin” involves a “g” factor Electron gs~2 Proton gs~5.59 Neutron gs~3.83
Electron gs=2 predicted by Dirac Eq.! spin is a property of spacetime
Spin precession: Larmor frequency
→ Spin manipulation through magnetic interaction

Spin ½ and polarization
Single spin “measurement”: choose quantization axis (e.g. magnetic field) with arbitrary but fixed orientation
→ s=½, ms=±½
N “measurements” (ensemble of spins):
Probability p(ms) to find ms → “Polarization”
Spin asymmetry A = (N+ − N−) / (N+ + N−)
Polarization vector can be controlled externally “Spin orientation” is “jargon”
