Matrices of Spin-Orbit Interaction in the Electron Configurations np2 n′ p and np4 n′ p

Abstract

The matrices of spin-orbit interaction in the p2 p and p4 p electron configurations have been calculated. The matrices have been checked by showing that their eigenvalues, calculated by use of an IBM 7090, agree with the correct eigenvalues known from the theory of jj-coupling. For the sake of completeness, the matrices of electrostatic interaction for these configurations are also given.
