sphere_mat_element: Spherical Matrix Element.

Description Usage Arguments Details

Description

sphere_mat_element calculates the spherical matrix element

Usage

1
sphere_mat_element(l, lprime, ml)

Arguments

l

A numeric. The orbital angular momentum of the starting state.

lprime

A numeric. The orbital angular momentum of the final state.

ml

A numeric. The magnetic momentum of both the starting and final state. The m_l of each state must be equal.

Details

This function calculates the spherical matrix element for a given l, l', and m_l. It finds the matrix element <l, m|cos(theta)|l', m> based on a paper by Zimmerman et al, PRA 20, 2251 (1979).
