Prometheus Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 So i'm looking at where the azimuthal quantum numbers come from and have a reached the point where i need to consider Legendre equations/polynomials. I'm a bit pressed for time and i think it will take me quite some time to get my head around this Legendre stuff, so i'm wondering whether i should just take the results on trust and skip the details. The main reason i'm studying quantum physics (other than fun obviously) is to understand vibrational spectroscopy. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiot Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 A good readable source for this is Contemporary Quantum Chemistry J Goodisman Plenum publications The main reason you need Legendre is the integration of the spin in an electric field.

Prometheus Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 So you recommend tackling the Legendre equations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
