  2. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

    Spin (physics) Spin is an intrinsic form of angular momentum carried by elementary particles, and thus by composite particles such as hadrons, atomic nuclei, and atoms. [1][2]: 183 –184 Spin is quantized, and accurate models for the interaction with spin require relativistic quantum mechanics or quantum field theory.

  3. Hund's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hund's_rules

    The three rules are: [1] [2] [3] For a given electron configuration, the term with maximum multiplicity has the lowest energy. The multiplicity is equal to + , where is the total spin angular momentum for all electrons. The multiplicity is also equal to the number of unpaired electrons plus one. [4]

  4. Spin chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_chain

    The prototypical example of a spin chain is the Heisenberg model, described by Werner Heisenberg in 1928. [1] This models a one-dimensional lattice of fixed particles with spin 1/2. A simple version (the antiferromagnetic XXX model) was solved, that is, the spectrum of the Hamiltonian of the Heisenberg model was determined, by Hans Bethe using ...

  5. Transverse-field Ising model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse-field_Ising_model

    The transverse field Ising model is a quantum version of the classical Ising model.It features a lattice with nearest neighbour interactions determined by the alignment or anti-alignment of spin projections along the axis, as well as an external magnetic field perpendicular to the axis (without loss of generality, along the axis) which creates an energetic bias for one x-axis spin direction ...

  6. Spin quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_quantum_number

    The phrase spin quantum number refers to quantized spin angular momentum. The symbol s is used for the spin quantum number, and m s is described as the spin magnetic quantum number [3] or as the z-component of spin s z. [4] Both the total spin and the z-component of spin are quantized, leading to two quantum numbers spin and spin magnet quantum ...

  7. Spin-1/2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-1/2

    t. e. In quantum mechanics, spin is an intrinsic property of all elementary particles. All known fermions, the particles that constitute ordinary matter, have a spin of ⁠ 1 2 ⁠. [1][2][3] The spin number describes how many symmetrical facets a particle has in one full rotation; a spin of ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ means that the particle must be rotated ...

  8. Spin glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_glass

    In condensed matter physics, a spin glass is a magnetic state characterized by randomness, besides cooperative behavior in freezing of spins at a temperature called "freezing temperature" Tf. [1] In ferromagnetic solids, component atoms' magnetic spins all align in the same direction. Spin glass when contrasted with a ferromagnet is defined as ...

  9. Hardware random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number...

    A USB-pluggable hardware true random number generator. In computing, a hardware random number generator (HRNG), true random number generator (TRNG), non-deterministic random bit generator (NRBG), [1] or physical random number generator [2] [3] is a device that generates random numbers from a physical process capable of producing entropy (in other words, the device always has access to a ...
