§34.12 Physical Applications
β–ΊThe angular momentum coupling coefficients ( 3 ⁒ j , 6 ⁒ j , and 9 ⁒ j symbols) are essential in the fields of nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics. For applications in nuclear structure, see de-Shalit and Talmi (1963); in atomic spectroscopy, see Biedenharn and van Dam (1965, pp. 134–200), Judd (1998), Sobelman (1992, Chapter 4), Shore and Menzel (1968, pp. 268–303), and Wigner (1959); in molecular spectroscopy and chemical reactions, see Burshtein and Temkin (1994, Chapter 5), and Judd (1975). 3 ⁒ j , 6 ⁒ j , and 9 ⁒ j symbols are also found in multipole expansions of solutions of the Laplace and Helmholtz equations; see Carlson and Rushbrooke (1950) and Judd (1976).

§16.24(iii) 3 ⁒ j , 6 ⁒ j , and 9 ⁒ j Symbols
β–ΊThe 3 ⁒ j symbols, or Clebsch–Gordan coefficients, play an important role in the decomposition of reducible representations of the rotation group into irreducible representations. They can be expressed as F 2 3 functions with unit argument. The coefficients of transformations between different coupling schemes of three angular momenta are related to the Wigner 6 ⁒ j symbols. …Lastly, special cases of the 9 ⁒ j symbols are F 4 5 functions with unit argument. …
