The matrix elements of tensor operators for configurations of three equivalent electrons

1959 Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A Mathematical and Physical Sciences 31 citations

Abstract

The formulae of Redmond are used to construct expressions for the fractional parentage coefficients relating the configurations l 3 and l 2 . The explicit occurrence of godparent states is avoided for the quartet states of f 3 and also for a sequence of doublet states. The latter are defined by the set of quantum numbers f 3 WUSLJJ 2 , where W and U are irreducible representations of the groups R 7 and G 2 . Matrix elements of the type ( f 3 WUSL || U k || f 3 W'U'SL' ), where U k is the sum of the three irreducible tensor operators u k corresponding to the three f electrons, are tabulated for k = 2, 4 and 6 and for all values of W, U, S and L .
