Graduate Lecture Series 29 June – 3 July, 2009 Prof Ngee-Pong Chang Lecture 4 Electron Spin
George Uhlenbeck 1900 - 1988
S. Goudsmit 1902 - 1978
Pieter Zeeman 1865 - 1943
Photo taken by Zeeman of the splitting of the spectral lines in intense magnetic field. Reported on Saturday, October 31, 1896 at the meeting of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam, where these results were communicated by KamerlinghOnnes. The next Monday, Lorentz called Zeeman in his office and presented him with an explanation of his observations, based on Lorentz' theory of electromagnetic radiation.

Thomas Precession of electron spin as a general relativity effect Llewellyn H. Thomas 1903-1992
I think you and Uhlenbeck have been very lucky to get your spinning electron published talked about before Pauli heard of it. It appears that more than a year ago Kronig believed in the spinning electron and worked out something; the first person he showed it to was Pauli. Pauli ridiculed the whole thing so much that the first person became also the last and no one else heard anything of it. Which all goes to show that the infallibility of the Deity does not extend to his self-styled vicar on earth. Note to Goudsmit by L.H. Thomas Mar 25, 1926

Why does the spin precess when there is No applied B field ?
Origin of Spin-Orbit Coupling Electron moving in a static E field sees a magnetic field, B : Electron spin precesses around this B field according to the magnetic moment interaction
Electron orbiting around nucleus In electron rest frame, nucleus orbiting around electron
Why does the spin precess when there is No applied B field ? Electron sees a B-field when it moves in a Voltage gate Origin of the Rashba term for spin-orbit coupling
