The deuterium atom is composed of a spin-1 nucleus and a spin- electron. We denote the orbital angular momentum operator of the electron with ĩ, the electron's spin operator with S, and the nucleus’ spin operator with @. Throughout this exercise we assume that the deuterium atom is in the electronic ls state. (a) Let ) = $ + Î be the total angular momentum operator of the electron. We denote the angular momentum eigenstates of the electron by jm;) and the angular momentum eigenstates of the nucleus by gmg).
