Vector coupling coefficients

Syntax: y = CLEBSG(j1,j2,j,m1,m2,m)
y = WIGN3J(j1,j1,j,m1,m2,m)
y = WIGN6J(j1,j2.j,m1,m2,m)
y = WIGN9J(j1,j2,j,m1,m2,m,n1,n2,n)
y = RACAH(a,b,c,d,e,f)
y = JAHNUF(j1,j2,m2,m1,j,m)

Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, Wigner's 3j, 6j, and 9j symbols, Jahn's U-function, and Racah coefficients are the vector coupling coefficients in the theory of angular momentum in quantum mechanics. For more information, please refer to:

Racah coefficients

To define the Racah coefficients we first define the "triangle" coefficient:

Racah's W-function is defined as:

Jahn's U function
