Orbital Magnetic Transition Moment

This is appropriate for a magnetic dipole transition moment carried by the electronic orbital angular momentum.

Settings

Rank Rank of transition - 2 (twice 1) for a normal magnetic dipole transition.
Component Projection quantum number of transition moment - 0 for a parallel transition, 1 for a perpendicular transition. For linear molecules this will normally be the change in Λ for the transition.

Parameters

Strength Transition (dipole) moment in units of the Bohr magneton. Note that the relative intensity is proportional to the square of this value.
C J dependence of transition moment
D J dependence of transition moment
