The 19 pages that link to Orbital angular momentum, each with the reason it gives.

• Angular momentumBroader topic: It describes the rotational contribution of an orbiting particle or body.

• Zeeman effectRelated: Its magnetic moment contributes to the field-dependent energies of atomic states.

• Electron spinCompared with: Unlike orbital angular momentum, electron spin exists without spatial circulation.

• ParamagnetismRelated: Unquenched orbital motion can add to an atom’s magnetic moment.

• SpinCompared with: Unlike spin, it arises from spatial degrees of freedom rather than an intrinsic property.

• Fine structureRelated: It combines with electron spin to set the total angular momentum of each level.

• Angular momentum operatorCompared with: It contrasts with intrinsic spin, which is not generated by position and momentum.

• Spin–orbit interactionRelated: Its quantum number combines with spin to determine the split level energies.

• Cooper pairRelated: The pair's orbital symmetry combines with its spin state to determine its total symmetry.

• Nuclear spinCompared with: Unlike orbital angular momentum, nuclear spin is intrinsic and does not describe motion around a center.

• Hund's rulesRelated: The second rule ranks terms with equal spin by their total orbital angular momentum.

• Specific orbital energyCompared with: Unlike energy, angular momentum chiefly constrains orbital orientation and shape rather than size alone.

• Spin quantum numberCompared with: Unlike spin, orbital angular momentum arises from spatial degrees of freedom.

• Electron magnetic momentRelated: In bound states, an electron’s orbital motion contributes a magnetic moment distinct from spin.

• Azimuthal quantum numberRelated: For an atomic electron, ℓ sets the magnitude of orbital angular momentum.

• Gyromagnetic ratioBroader topic: Orbital motion can generate magnetic moments with a characteristic gyromagnetic ratio.

• Landé g-factorRelated: Its contribution to an electron's magnetic moment differs from the spin contribution.

• El-Sayed ruleRelated: Changes in orbital character alter the angular-momentum contribution to spin–orbit coupling.

• Spin-½Compared with: Spin is intrinsic, whereas orbital angular momentum arises from spatial degrees of freedom.
