Below are sets of HSO = ζL⋅S eigenfunctions |j,mj〉 expressed in a basis |ℓ,mℓ,ms〉 of atomic spin orbitals for a given angular momentum quantum number ℓ = 1, 2, or 3. These functions were generated with a Mathematica notebook similar to the Mathematica notebook discussed on this page. We also give these eigenfunctions subject to time reversal, and matrix elements of the spin and orbital angular momenum operators, and of the Zeeman (magnetic field perturbation) operator HαZ = Lα + 2Sα with α = x,y,z. The definition of the orbital angular momentum eigenfunctions in the basis uses the Condon-Shortley phase. As a consequence, time reversal changes mℓ to −mℓ but also introduces a negative sign in the spin orbital basis if mℓ is odd. The coefficients representing the eigenfunctions of HSO and their time-reversed counterparts reflect this. The |j,mj〉 functions provided here were verified to be simultaneous eigenfunctions of HSO, j2, and j z, with phases such that j±|j,mj〉 = α±|j,mj ± 1〉, with α± being a positive real number as long as mj ± 1 is in the allowed range of the projection quantum number, zero otherwise.
