Abstract

Charge density

Current density

Spin density

Charge, current and spin densities are calculated for a two-electron system, maintaining the explicit form of the wave functions, in terms of Slater determinants. The two-electron Russell–Saunders spin–orbit coupled eigenstates | L, S, J, M J 〉 are expressed as four-component spinors, and the operators of the above densities as 4×4 matrices. The contributions of various one-electron states to these densities are identified.
