The Hamiltonian of a particle is given by $$H = \frac{{{p^2}}}{{2m}} + V\left( {\left| {\overrightarrow {\bf{r}} } \right|} \right) + \phi \left( { + \left| {\overrightarrow {\bf{r}} } \right|} \right)\overrightarrow {\bf{L}} .\overrightarrow {\bf{S}} ,$$        where $$\overrightarrow {\bf{S}} $$ is the spin, $$V\left( {\left| {\overrightarrow {\bf{r}} } \right|} \right)$$  and $$\phi \left( {\left| {\overrightarrow {\bf{r}} } \right|} \right)$$  are potential functions and $$\overrightarrow {\bf{L}} \left( { = \overrightarrow {\bf{r}} \times \overrightarrow {\bf{p}} } \right)$$   is the angular momentum.
