Ultracold atomic physics /
Zhai, Hui,author.
"Let us first consider a general Hamiltonian of Z electrons moving around a nucleus, which contains the Coulomb interaction, the spin-orbit coupling and the hyperne coupling. These are the three elects that determine the electronic structure of an atom. Here we should emphasize the important role of the separation of energy scales, that is to say, the typical energy scales of these three terms are quite different. Thanks to the separation of energy scales, we can analyze them one by one, which enables us to obtain a clear picture of the electron structure"--
