the coupling scheme in which electron orbital momenta combine into a total orbital momentum and spins into a total spin before these couple together.

In atomic, molecular and optical physics, Russell-Saunders coupling refers to the coupling scheme in which electron orbital momenta combine into a total orbital momentum and spins into a total spin before these couple together. This meaning comes from Russell (1925) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
