Abstract
Studies on the interaction of magnetic field with particles are of immense importance in many diverse areas. For example, in spectroscopy, the splitting of lines in a magnetic field (which leads to Zeeman and Paschen-Back effects, see Problems 20.1–20.4) is a subject of considerable importance (see, e.g. Ref. 1). In solid state physics, the calculation of diamagnetic and paramagnetic susceptibilities (see Problem 20.11) and the experiments on electron spin resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance (see Chapter 14), have immense practical importance (see, e.g. Ref 2–5).
On the basis of my earlier results on the classification of spectral terms in a strong magnetic field, the general formulation of the exclusion principle became clear to me.
