Synchronized Transverse Magnetic Field Pulse
When the frequency of a transverse magnetic field is twice the Larmor precessional frequency of an electron in a constant ‘z-axis’ magnetic field, the electron undergoes a resonant spin-flip behavior. If, on the other hand, the transverse magnetic field occurs only long enough to produce one flip, the electron will reverse intrinsic spin orientation just once in a localized process.
In Hydrogen, a quantum angular step of the single proton nucleus may be the first action in the process of making an electron turn and start off on a new trajectory. In larger atoms, Oxygen for example, it may be each alpha unit in the nucleus that is controlling the initiation of turns of two electrons. It is important to note however that it is not likely the same alpha unit/electron combination in the initiation of turns over time, nor would it be required that the same two protons and two neutrons stay together over time as representing a definitive alpha unit in the nucleus.
The activity and equations of the wave functions inside the alpha unit, – and without as the whole nucleus must stay together, would produce not only the central Coulomb potential, but also transverse magnetic field pulses necessary to initiate electron turns. This synchronized action would give further reason for the energy of a graviton to be linked to an integer ratio of the mass energy of the proton. As it is, the energy of a graviton is precisely one third the mass equivalent energy of the proton.
Using the Schrödinger picture, wavefunctions are varying and operators are constant. The graviton can be viewed as a momentum operator.
