1: 34.10 Zeros
In a 3 j symbol, if the three angular momenta j 1 , j 2 , j 3 do not satisfy the triangle conditions (34.2.1), or if the projective quantum numbers do not satisfy (34.2.3), then the 3 j symbol is zero. …However, the 3 j and 6 j symbols may vanish for certain combinations of the angular momenta and projective quantum numbers even when the triangle conditions are fulfilled. …
2: 34.2 Definition: 3 j Symbol
The quantities j 1 , j 2 , j 3 in the 3 j symbol are called angular momenta. Either all of them are nonnegative integers, or one is a nonnegative integer and the other two are half-odd positive integers. …
