We discuss Zeldovich's work in, ideas on, and findings in the physics of atomic—molecular magnetism and spectroscopy, the physics of angular momentum of electrons and nuclei, spin physics, and the physics of isotopes.

Keywords: nuclear spin, magnetic moments, magnetic isotopes, magnetic isotope effect, isotope fractionation, chemical masers
