About this document

Properties of the Deuteron Explained by Kunj Bihari Goswami is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The deuteron, which is composed of a proton and neutron, has a mixed spin state of 3S1 and 3D1, with 3S1 accounting for 96% and 3D1 for 4%. This mixing is due to the magnetic moments of the proton and neutron not adding up to the experimental magnetic moment of the deuteron. Only the spin-triplet state of total isospin 0 (proton-neutron) results in an attractive nuclear force, explaining why the deuteron is bound. The asymptotic behaviors of the deuteron
