11 The magnetic moment of a magnet is a quantity that determines the torque it will experience in an external magnetic field: τ = µ B Torque on a current-carrying loop: τ = I A B sin φ with I A = µ Remember: L = I ω = (mr 2 ) ( 2π t ) (for a point charge moving in a circle): I A = Q t πr 2 = Q t 2m e 2m e πr 2 = Q 2m e L XX Electron: µ = q/2m e L
12 & For spin: µ = q/2m e S (according to the classical theory).
13 s have properties: mass, electric charge, spin (permanent ang. momentum), : Experimental evidence of e spin (spin-magn. moment) 1924: Two orientations relative to external magnetic field. 1924: : S z = m S ( = h/2π) with (2m S +1) orientations Stern-Gerlach Experiment
14 & For spin: µ = q/2m e S (according to the classical theory). However: Stern-Gerlach experiment involves sending a beam of particles through an inhomogeneous magnetic field and observing their deflection. Results show that particles possess intrinsic angular momentum that is closely analogous to the angular momentum of a classically-spinning object, 1 But that takes only certain quantized values, 2 And is off by a proportional factor for the spin-magnetic moment: µ = g e 2m e S = g µb S with the Bohr magneton (defined in SI units) µ B = e 2m e.
15 I Existence of spin ang. momentum is inferred from experiments. is like a vector quantity, it has: 1 Definite magnitude, 2 Direction, spin orientation. has peculiar properties different from orbital ang. mom.: quantum numbers (QN) may take half-integer values. Direction of spin can be changed but a particle cannot be made to spin faster or slower. of charged particle associated with a magnetic dipole moment: µ = g S q 2m S with g s = spin g factor Classically, g S 1 only if mass & charge fill volumes with different radii.
16 II Existence of spin ang. momentum is inferred from experiments. is like a vector quantity, it has: 1 Definite magnitude, 2 Direction, spin orientation. For electrons: 1 S 2 = s (s + 1) 2 = 3/4 2 for spin S = 1/2. 2 S z = m s with m S = ±1/2 (for electrons in units of ). µ Sz = µ B = q 2m and µ S = 3 µ B XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx (total spin magnetic moment)

18 Bosons & Fermions I Fermions are particles with half-integer spin: m S = n 2, n = odd. Obey Fermi-Dirac statistics and the Pauli exclusion principle. (No two fermions in a system can have the same QNs.)
19 Bosons & Fermions II Bosons are particles with integer spin: m S = n. Obey Bose-Einstein statistics. (More than one boson in a system can have the same QNs.)
20 Quarks form particles called hadrons: 1 Meson: quark-antiquark pair (q q) π, η, etc. 2 Baryon: three-quark state (qqq) p, n,, etc.

Quarks form particles called hadrons: 1 Meson: quark-antiquark pair (q q) π, η, etc. 2 Baryon: three-quark state (qqq) p, n,, etc. Charged particles with spin have intrinsic magnetic moment: µ S = (q/m) S Dirac equation describes point-like spin- 1 2 particle (q, m): µ z = q 2m = g S µ B m S µ B (Bohr magneton for electron) In general: XX g S 2 for electron XX g S 3.83 for neutron XX g S for proton
