The Wess-Zumino term and quantum tunneling

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The significance of the Wess--Zumino term in spin tunneling is explored, and a formula is established for the splitting of energy levels of a particle with large fermionic spin as an applied magnetic field is switched on.
