ABSTRACT
In the preceding section it was explained that, in general, wave functions in the m-scheme are not eigenstates of J 2. In the m-scheme, wave functions may be easily antisymmetrized and then the problem is to construct linear combinations of them to obtain states with definite J. Instead, by using vector addition coefficients we can easily construct wave functions with definite values of J and M and then proceed to antisymmetrize them. In the present section we use this approach and learn how to construct antisymmetric wave functions and how to make use of them.
