Name Natale Habemed Section '2°Xe is an isotope of Xenon with a nuclear spin of 4. When '°Xe is in an van external magnetic field, an energy difference arises between the state where the nuclear spin is aligned with the ‘magnetic field and the state where nuclear the spin is anti-aligned to the field 1. Let the lower energy state be denoted as “-"* with energy £. = 0 and the higher energy state bbe denoted as “+” with energy E, = 1B where 11 is the magnetic moment of '"°Xe, and B is the strength of the external magnetic field. 8) write an expression for the molecular partition function associated with the two different spin states, qspin in a magnetic field with strength B. 6 ve.
