A Conceptual Shift In Our Understanding of Degenerate Radical Spin Systems: Spin-Rotation Coupling Turned On Its Head

Linqing Peng, Titouan Duston, Nadine Bradbury +4

For most chemists, Kramers' degeneracy refers to the fact that for any radical system, every potential energy surface is at least doubly degenerate (with spin up and spin down, tim…
