Calculation of Exact Eigenfunctions of Spin and Angular Momentum Using the Projection Operator Method

"The projection operator technique is used to generate electronic wave functions which are eigenfunctions of both spin and orbital angular momentum. All the functions which arise in the L-S coupling of any allowed system of electrons in a single s, p, d, or f shell are computed as well as some functions for a few electrons in the g-shell. In addition, functions arising in the coupling of electrons in different shells are obtained, and these eigenfunctions are of particular interest in configuration interaction studies of atomic structure. A few representative eigenfunctions are listed."
