electron spin

How can spin be visualized when thinking of electrons as waves and particles?

[Alex Chen 2L]

Electrons, as individual particles, spin and create a small magnetic field by doing so. An electron spinning clockwise is called "spin-up", while an electron spinning counterclockwise is called "spin-down". The two opposite spins also create oppositely charged magnetic fields.

As far as I'm aware, varying spins can be understood as phase-shifts in the sinusoidal wavefunction for electrons.

How much conceptual knowledge of electron spin will we need for the midterm in this class?

[Ryan Juncker 3D]

Personally, I like to think of electron spin separately from thinking of the wave like properties. It just makes more sense in my head to think of that part along with the particle properties or with the electron configuration. Hope that helps.
