There is a fundamental connection between the angular momentum (a mechanical quantity) and the rotation operators (which is a symmetry group). The angular momentum is the generator of rotations. Because of this connection, many properties of angular momentum operators can be derived from the properties of the rotation group. We will derive these properties (mainly the commutation relations) sta...

Correlations beyond the mean field in Magnesium isotopes: Angular momentum projection and configuration mixing. Abstract The quadrupole deformation properties of the ground and low-lying excited states of the even-even Magnesium isotopes with N ranging from 8 to 28 have been studied in the framework of the angular momentum projected generator coordinate method with the Gogny force. It is shown ...

It has been suggested that angular momentum in the horizontal plane during human gait is controlled (i.e., kept minimal). However, this has not been explored in conditions when angular momentum of different segments is manipulated explicitly. In order to examine the behavior of angular momentum, 12 participants walked in 17 conditions in which angular momentum of either the arms or legs was man...

Spin current, a flow of spins, is a key concept in the field of spintronics. It is generated by using angular momentum conversion among magnetic angular momentum due to magnetization dynamics, photon angular momentum, angular momentum due to orbital motion of electron, and spin angular momentum [1–3]. Meanwhile, mechanical angular momentum carried by condensed matter systems due to macroscopic ...

I review the theory of angular momentum acquisition of galaxies by tidal torquing, the resulting angular momentum distribution, the angular momentum correlation function and discuss the implications of angular momentum alignments on weak lensing measurements: Starting from linear models for tidal torquing I summarise perturbative approaches and the results from n-body simulations of cosmic stru...
