II 1 Timeline The Bohr magneton ( µµµB) is the magnitude of the elementary magnetic dipole moment of an orbiting electron with an orbital angular momentum of one ħ= h/2 πππ. ● 1789 Quantitative magnetic moments were introduced by Charles-Augustin de Coulomb for compass needles [1]. ● 1820 Hans Christian Orsted discovered the relationship between electricity (electric current) and magnetism [2]. ● 1821 Andre-Marie Ampere. The hypothesis of molecular currents (Amperiancurrents) [3] as a link between electricity and magnetism (microscopic scale). By default, emerged the concept of magnetic moment of area, µ ∝ IA (1) ● 1832-1895 Develop systems of measurement units in electromagnetism (Gauss,[4], Weber,[5], Maxwell,[6]). Hertz [7] combines the electrostatic CGS system of units (esu) with electromagnetic CGS system of units (emu) into a single system, related by the speed of light c, called the “Gaussian system of units”. In the system of units, used mainly in theoretical physics, magnetic moment has been classified in the category of magnetic quantities (by a factor of units 1/c, unrelated to the expression of the magnetic moment), 1 µ = IA (emu). (2) c The factor of units 1/c = 1/3 ×10 10 s/cm, experimentally determined, made the transition from the electric current expressed in electrostatic units (esu) to the electric current expressed in electromagnetic units (emu). 1 Iesu → Iemu . (3) c ● 1903 J.J. Thomson. Magnetic properties of corpuscles describing circular motion hypothesis [8]. ● 1907 W. Ritz: The idea of elementary magnets [9]. ● 1907 P. Weiss explains ferromagnetism by way of small domains of magnetic polari- zation within a material (Weiss experimental magneton, µW), [10], [11], 2 µW = 1123.5 emu/atom-gram. (4) The term “magneton” is due to P. Weiss. ● 1911 P. Langevin obtained submultiple of experimental magneton [12]. ● 1911 R. Gans computed a value that was twice as large as the Bohr magneton [13]. ● 1912 S. Procopiu obtained for the first time the relationship and default, value magneton [14], [15]. This relationship and the numerical value is referred to “Bohr- Procopiu magneton” in Romanian scientific literature, m h = 4 πµ e . (5) e Using the numerical values of fundamental physical constants of work [13], (h = -27 -10 -27 10 6.55×10 erg.s ; e = 4.7×10 esu; m e = 0.84×10 g; c = 3×10 cm/s), result (implicit), in emu units, 1 eh µ = = 9.7×10 -21 emu (6) c 4πme from 9.27×10 -21 emu, the current value. ● 1913 N. Bohr [16], on the basis of Rutherford’s atomic model, developed quantified theory of the atom, creating the basis for the interpretation of magnetism at atomic scale. ● 1915 A.L. Parson [17] suggests that the electron is not only electric charge but is also a small magnet (or „magneton” as he called it). In the literature is known as „Parson magneton” or „magnetic electron”. This led to the Parson’s model of atom. ● 1918 H.S. Allen [18]. The arguments in favour of an electron in the form of a current circuit capable of producing magnetic effect. ● 1920 W. Pauli introduced the elementary unit of magnetic moment, interpretation in terms of the Bohr’s atom [16], [19]. From the classical expression for magnetic moment µ = (1/c)IA , and considering the effective current I = - e/T = - ev/2 πr, which can be rewritten as I = - em evr/2 πmer, the magnetic moment result, µ = -(e/2m e)L, where angular momentum L, is quantified, conformable Bohr-Sommerfeld theory, L =n (h/2 π), 3 n = 1, 2, 3, …,n. A elementary unit of magnetic moment (for n = 1 ), called the “Bohr magneton” is 1 eh -21 -1 µB = = 9.21 ×10 emu, (erg.gauss ) (7) c 4πme or related to the mol, 1 eh µB = N0 = 5548 Gauss.cm, (8) c 4πme 23 -1 N0 being the number of atoms or molecules per gram-atom, ( N0 = 6.06 ×10 mol ) and the 1/c factor being for conversion esu →emu , (Fig.1) Notation -8 Bohr radius (a 0) = r 1 = 0.529×10 cm Fig.1 The vector model of Bohr’s magneton (implicit) in connection with the orbital motion of electron ● 1924-1928 On the basis of quantum theory developed by W. Pauli [20], S. Goudsmit & G.E. Uhlenbeck, [21], W. Heisenberg & P. Jordan [22] (the quantum theory of angular momentum and spin 1/2) and PAM. Dirac [23], Bohr magneton came in the expression of z spin magnetic moment ( µµµs), and its rotational component ( µs ) Fig.2 h 3 h S = s(s + )1 = , (s=1/2) , (9) 2π 2 2π 1 h Sz = ± , (10) 2 2π e µµµs = - g S ≈ - 3 µB (g ≈ 2, Dirac), (11) 2m e z 1 µ = ± gµB , (≈ ± µB) .

Birge includes the Bohr’s magneton in the physical constants table [24]: -20 -1 Magnetic moment of 1 Bohr magneton (spectroscopic)....... µ1= (h/4 π)(e/m) sp = (0.9174 70 ±0.0013)×10 erg.gauss -20 -1 Magnetic moment of 1 Bohr magneton (deflection)....... µ1= (h/4 π)(e/m) defl = (0.9216 38 ±0.0016)×10 erg.gauss ●1940-1955 On the basis of quantum mechanics, magneton theory gets a new interpretation, more elaborate (Fig.3a and 3b): The current density (or flux probability) in atom, if electron is in stationary state (L z = m h/2 π), ieh ∗ ∗ J = - (ψ ∇ Ψ − Ψ ∇ Ψ).

Spolschi [26] 6 ● 1970-2006 In textbooks and papers, recommendations on mandatory use of International System of Units (SI) [27] are noticed more often. So, eh -26 -1 µΒ = = 927.400 915(23)×10 JT (22) 4πme were: e = 1.602 176 487(40) ×10 -19 C , h = 6.626 068 96(33) ×10 -34 J.s , -31 me = 9.109 382 15(45) ×10 kg , the 1/c factor is included in the amount of electric charge. Bohr magneton is expressed in units derived from SI, such: -5 -1 µΒ /{e} = 5.788 381 75555(79) ×10 eV T , 9 -1 µΒ / h = 13.996 246 04(35) ×10 Hz T , -1 -1 µΒ / hc = 46.686 4515(12) m T -1 µΒ / k = 0.671 7131(12) KT . ● 1978-2010 D.P. D ănescu [28], [29], shows that the only system of units without contradictions is the Gaussian system. It is indicated for use in quantum theory and relativity, or, more generally, in theoretical physics. An amendment related to the expression of the magnetic moment (IdA) was made to the Gaussian system of units. The „current element” (Idℓ) is of electrokinetic nature and therefore should not contain the factor 1/c, disposal changing the measure unit of magneton: emu → esu. (See Appendix 1) In other words, the relationship of Bohr magneton, recommended to be expressed in Gaussian units, must be, eh -10 µ Β = = 2,780 278 10(24) ×10 esu (23) 4πme where: e = 4.803 204 41(41) ×10 -10 esu, -28 me= 9.109 382 6(16) ×10 g, h = 6.626 069 3(11) ×10 -27 erg.s. Factor 1/c does not disappear. He is transferred to the torque’s relationship, where just like the forces, it highlights the relativistic nature of magnetism. This amendment is denoted schematically as follows: 7 1 1 µµµ = I A τττ = ΙΑΑΑΑ × B (24) c/ c ↓ ___________________ ↑ Under these conditions, calculating the spin magnetic moment of electron , we get: e eh -10 |µµµs| = g S ≈ 3 = 3 µB = 4,81 ×10 ues , (25) 2me 4πme where g ≈ 2 and S = 3 h /2, the measure unit can be written in the form Fr . cm 2/ s . Besides electric charge value (e) and double Compton wavelength (2 λC), [31], these constants are in an equality value (approximate) of exceptional importance, equal to a one-dimensional system (by transition LTM Gaussian →L) and can be geometrically interpreted [32]: -10 |µµµs| = 4.81 ×10 esu, | e±| = 4.80 ×10 -10 esu, -10 2 λC = 4.85 ×10 cm . ↓ ± -10 2 λC ≈ | e | ≈ | µµµs| ≈ 4.8 ×10 cm.

  • Bohr Model of Hydrogen
    Chapter 3 Bohr model of hydrogen Figure 3.1: Democritus The atomic theory of matter has a long history, in some ways all the way back to the ancient Greeks (Democritus - ca. 400 BCE - suggested that all things are composed of indivisible \atoms"). From what we can observe, atoms have certain properties and behaviors, which can be summarized as follows: Atoms are small, with diameters on the order of 0:1 nm. Atoms are stable, they do not spontaneously break apart into smaller pieces or collapse. Atoms contain negatively charged electrons, but are electrically neutral. Atoms emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation. Any successful model of atoms must be capable of describing these observed properties. 1 (a) Isaac Newton (b) Joseph von Fraunhofer (c) Gustav Robert Kirch- hoff 3.1 Atomic spectra Even though the spectral nature of light is present in a rainbow, it was not until 1666 that Isaac Newton showed that white light from the sun is com- posed of a continuum of colors (frequencies). Newton introduced the term \spectrum" to describe this phenomenon. His method to measure the spec- trum of light consisted of a small aperture to define a point source of light, a lens to collimate this into a beam of light, a glass spectrum to disperse the colors and a screen on which to observe the resulting spectrum. This is indeed quite close to a modern spectrometer! Newton's analysis was the beginning of the science of spectroscopy (the study of the frequency distri- bution of light from different sources). The first observation of the discrete nature of emission and absorption from atomic systems was made by Joseph Fraunhofer in 1814.

    Solved Problems on the Particle Nature of Matter Charles Asman, Adam Monahan and Malcolm McMillan Department of Physics and Astronomy University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Fall 1999; revised 2011 by Malcolm McMillan Given here are solutions to 5 problems on the particle nature of matter. The solutions were used as a learning-tool for students in the introductory undergraduate course Physics 200 Relativity and Quanta given by Malcolm McMillan at UBC during the 1998 and 1999 Winter Sessions. The solutions were prepared in collaboration with Charles Asman and Adam Monaham who were graduate students in the Department of Physics at the time. The problems are from Chapter 3 The Particle Nature of Matter of the course text Modern Physics by Raymond A. Serway, Clement J. Moses and Curt A. Moyer, Saunders College Publishing, 2nd ed., (1997). Coulomb's Constant and the Elementary Charge When solving numerical problems on the particle nature of matter it is useful to note that the product of Coulomb's constant k = 8:9876 × 109 m2= C2 (1) and the square of the elementary charge e = 1:6022 × 10−19 C (2) is ke2 = 1:4400 eV nm = 1:4400 keV pm = 1:4400 MeV fm (3) where eV = 1:6022 × 10−19 J (4) Breakdown of the Rutherford Scattering Formula: Radius of a Nucleus Problem 3.9, page 39 It is observed that α particles with kinetic energies of 13.9 MeV or higher, incident on copper foils, do not obey Rutherford's (sin φ/2)−4 scattering formula. • Use this observation to estimate the radius of the nucleus of a copper atom.

  • 1. Physical Constants 1 1
    1. Physical constants 1 1. PHYSICAL CONSTANTS Table 1.1. Reviewed 1998 by B.N. Taylor (NIST). Based mainly on the “1986 Adjustment of the Fundamental Physical Constants” by E.R. Cohen and B.N. Taylor, Rev. Mod. Phys. 59, 1121 (1987). The last group of constants (beginning with the Fermi coupling constant) comes from the Particle Data Group. The figures in parentheses after the values give the 1-standard- deviation uncertainties in the last digits; the corresponding uncertainties in parts per million (ppm) are given in the last column. This set of constants (aside from the last group) is recommended for international use by CODATA (the Committee on Data for Science and Technology). Since the 1986 adjustment, new experiments have yielded improved values for a number of constants, including the Rydberg constant R∞, the Planck constant h, the fine- structure constant α, and the molar gas constant R,and hence also for constants directly derived from these, such as the Boltzmann constant k and Stefan-Boltzmann constant σ. The new results and their impact on the 1986 recommended values are discussed extensively in “Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: A Status Report,” B.N. Taylor and E.R. Cohen, J. Res. Natl. Inst. Stand. Technol. 95, 497 (1990); see also E.R. Cohen and B.N. Taylor, “The Fundamental Physical Constants,” Phys. Today, August 1997 Part 2, BG7. In general, the new results give uncertainties for the affected constants that are 5 to 7 times smaller than the 1986 uncertainties, but the changes in the values themselves are smaller than twice the 1986 uncertainties.

    August12,2016 1:27 WSPCProceedings-9.75inx6.5in Antognini˙ICOLS˙3 page 1 1 Muonic atoms and the nuclear structure A. Antognini∗ for the CREMA collaboration Institute for Particle Physics, ETH, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland Laboratory for Particle Physics, Paul Scherrer Institute, 5232 Villigen-PSI, Switzerland ∗E-mail: [email protected] High-precision laser spectroscopy of atomic energy levels enables the measurement of nu- clear properties. Sensitivity to these properties is particularly enhanced in muonic atoms which are bound systems of a muon and a nucleus. Exemplary is the measurement of the proton charge radius from muonic hydrogen performed by the CREMA collaboration which resulted in an order of magnitude more precise charge radius as extracted from other methods but at a variance of 7 standard deviations. Here, we summarize the role of muonic atoms for the extraction of nuclear charge radii, we present the status of the so called “proton charge radius puzzle”, and we sketch how muonic atoms can be used to infer also the magnetic nuclear radii, demonstrating again an interesting interplay between atomic and particle/nuclear physics. Keywords: Proton radius; Muon; Laser spectroscopy, Muonic atoms; Charge and mag- netic radii; Hydrogen; Electron-proton scattering; Hyperfine splitting; Nuclear models. 1. What atomic physics can do for nuclear physics The theory of the energy levels for few electrons systems, which is based on bound- state QED, has an exceptional predictive power that can be systematically improved due to the perturbative nature of the theory itself [1, 2]. On the other side, laser spectroscopy yields spacing between energy levels in these atomic systems so pre- cisely, that even tiny effects related with the nuclear structure already influence several significant digits of these measurements.

  • Compton Wavelength, Bohr Radius, Balmer's Formula and G-Factors
    Compton wavelength, Bohr radius, Balmer's formula and g-factors Raji Heyrovska J.

The Balmer formula for the spectrum of atomic hydrogen is shown to be analogous to that in Compton effect and is written in terms of the difference between the absorbed and emitted wavelengths. The g-factors come into play when the atom is subjected to disturbances (like changes in the magnetic and electric fields), and the electron and proton get displaced from their fixed positions giving rise to Zeeman effect, Stark effect, etc. The Bohr radius (aB) of the ground state of a hydrogen atom, the ionization energy (EH) and the Compton wavelengths, λC,e (= h/mec = 2πre) and λC,p (= h/mpc = 2πrp) of the electron and proton respectively, (see [1] for an introduction and literature), are related by the following equations, 2 EH = (1/2)(hc/λH) = (1/2)(e /κ)/aB (1) 2 2 (λC,e + λC,p) = α2πaB = α λH = α /2RH (2) (λC,e + λC,p) = (λout - λin)C,e + (λout - λin)C,p (3) α = vω/c = (re + rp)/aB = 2πaB/λH (4) aB = (αλH/2π) = c(re + rp)/vω = c(τe + τp) = cτB (5) where λH is the wavelength of the ionizing radiation, κ = 4πεo, εo is 2 the electrical permittivity of vacuum, h (= 2πħ = e /2εoαc) is the 2 Planck constant, ħ (= e /κvω) is the angular momentum of spin, α (= vω/c) is the fine structure constant, vω is the velocity of spin [2], re ( = ħ/mec) and rp ( = ħ/mpc) are the radii of the electron and

  • Excitons in 3D and 2D Systems
    Excitons in 3D and 2D systems Electrons and holes in an excited semiconductor create a quasiparticle, named exciton. After separation of centre of gravity and relative orbital motion a series of bound exciton states (n=1,2,3…) are located below the band gap. Solving the Schrödinger equation the binding energy in 3D is R * E X (3D) ,n 1,2,.... n n2 *e4 Where R* is the Rydberg energy by R* 2 2 2 2 with µ* as reduced effective mass. It 32 0 defines a series of exciton states which can be populated. In analogy to the hydrogen problem the respective orbital wave function for n=1 is X 1 r (r) exp( ) n1 3/ 2 a0 a0 2 X 4 0 With exciton Bohr radius a (3D) and r=re-rh is the 3D relative electron-hole 0 *e2 coordinate. In k-Space the wave function represented by 3/ 2 X 8 a0 n1 (k) 2 2 2 (1 a0 k ) The k-space representation is important to estimate the oscillator strength of excitonic processes. For discussion of PL excitation spectra and the bleaching of exciton absorption it is important to consider the influence of unbound electron-hole states above the ionization limit (E>0). It is expressed by the Sommerfeld factor 2 R * /( E ) 3D 3D g CEF | E0 (r 0) 1 exp(2 R * /( Eg ) This equation describes the enhancement of absorption above the band gap due to correlated electron-hole pairs. Since equ. Above diverges for Eg one observes a “tooth-like” absorption line.
