ThreeJSymbol

ThreeJSymbol
gives the values of the Wigner 3- symbol.
  • The 3- symbols vanish except when and the satisfy a triangle inequality.
  • The parameters of ThreeJSymbol can be integers, half-integers or symbolic expressions.
  • The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and 3- symbols in Mathematica satisfy the relation .
