1. Back to our example, the spin state of the particle is spin-1. 2. Mathematically, quantum-mechanical spin states are described by vector-like objects known as spinors. 3. At this point the unpaired electrons can move between their two spin states . 4. :: * Can photons trapped in a box be switched between spin states ? 5. Spin stated that " It's the one consistent blessing of stardom.6. The low spin state therefore does not follow Hund's rule. 7. They recorded the two such spin states , consistent with a spin 1 / 2 particle. 8. Single-molecule magnets are also based on iron clusters because they potentially have large spin states . 9. Following the measurement, the spin state of the particle will collapse into the corresponding eigenstate. 10. Furthermore, since photons have two spin states , the value of " f " is 2.
