spin-orbit coupling

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S05870
The interaction of the electron spin magnetic moment with the magnetic moment due to the orbital motion of the electron. One consequence of spin-orbit @C01025@ is the mixing of zero-order states of different multiplicity. This effect may result in fine structure called @S05872@.
