How It Works

Calculate spin-orbit coupling energy splitting for atomic states using L-S coupling and estimate fine structure line separation

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • L-S coupling — The l-s coupling recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Estimate fine structure line separation — The estimate fine structure line separation recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the spin-orbit coupling result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the L-S coupling, estimate fine structure line separation for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate spin-orbit coupling energy splitting for atomic states using L-S coupling and estimate fine structure line separation. Use the spin-orbit coupling result to inform your clinical assessment.
