Spin-orbit potential Shell Model Assume that the nucleons move (independently) in a potential, V, created by the other nucleons in the nucleus. Assume that the problem can be addressed by the non-relativistic Schrodinger quantum mechanics. Assume that the potential, V, is spherically symmetric and therefore only a function of r, V(r)

L is orbital angular momentum for single nucleon M is nucleon mass max z-axis projection Intrinsic (measured) dipole magnetic moments Nuclear magnetic moments
Measured dipole magnetic moments Nuclear magnetic moments From electron case, you expect to have for this fermion -- Does not agree with measurement
Measured dipole magnetic moments Nuclear magnetic moments And, by the same analysis, one gets --
Nuclear magnetic moments Consider nuclei with odd A. Assume that the pairing interaction causes the “core” of paired nucleons to have net I = 0. Assume that the induced magnetic dipole moment is due to the last unpaired nucleon. Use this to estimate the nuclear magnetic dipole moment - within this model.
