How to Label Spin Hamiltonian by Ms in EPR Experiments?

In summary, Rajini is seeking help with understanding how to write the spin Hamiltonian for a system with S=5/2 and Ms as the magnetic quantum number. She has received a hint from another member and is working on solving the problem.

dear members,
My problem is...
suppose take the spin Hamiltonian Hham=D[Sz2 -S(S+1)/3 +(E/D)(Sy2-Sy2)] +Hi[tex]\vec{S}[/tex] (most often in EPR experiments, etc).
here external magnetic field Hamiltonian Hi = [tex]\beta[/tex]giBiext and i =x, y and z. Also gx=gy=gz=2 and the external magnetic field is parallel/along z-axis. Ms is the magnetic quantum number.
What i don't know.. Using S=5/2 and writing down in the |5/2,Ms> representation yields a matrix (from the above spin Hamiltonian)...I really don't know how to write it.(may be in other words how to label spin Hamiltonian by Ms )..But i have the solution...Can anyone help me?? I am really frustrated about this problem..
advance thanks for helping me..

First, it looks like you have some typos in your expression for H_{ham}. E.g., S_y^2 - S_y^2 is just zero. Also, the last term appears to be a vector.

But, anyways, I think you should start by writing down what [itex]S_z[/itex] looks like in the basis. Then write what [itex]S_+[/itex] (the raising operator) looks like and then what [itex]S_-[/itex] looks like.

Hi Olgran, I got a hint from your reply..(S- and S+)...based on ur hint...i am on the way:- solving my problem..hopefully i can solve it..after working on big 6x6 matrices..
thanks
