The word "quantization" is a correct and usable term in written English.
It refers to the process of converting a continuous signal or data set into a discrete form. It is often used in fields such as physics, mathematics, and engineering. For example, "The quantization of energy levels in atoms was a significant discovery in quantum mechanics."
In 1934 a new type of fields (scalar fields), described by the Klein-Gordon equation, could be quantized (another example of "second quantization").
Usually, the angular momentum is specified along an axis known as the quantization axis, and the magnitude of the angular momentum is limited to the quantum values √(l(l + 1)), in which l is an integer.
The quantization of the orientation of the angular momentum vector was confirmed in an experiment in 1922 by other German physicists, Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach.
In 1930 Landau pointed out a new effect resulting from the quantization of free electrons in crystals the Landau diamagnetism, opposite to the spin paramagnetism earlier treated by Pauli.
This flux quantization, which had been predicted from quantum mechanical principles, was first observed experimentally in 1961.
Independently of Arnold Sommerfeld, Schwarzschild developed the general rules of quantization, gave the complete theory of the Stark effect (the effect of an electric field on light), and initiated the quantum theory of molecular spectra.
All phenomena in submicroscopic systems (the realm of quantum mechanics) exhibit quantization: observable quantities are restricted to a natural set of discrete values.
For a given orbital momentum quantum number l, there are 2l + 1 integral magnetic quantum numbers ml ranging from −l to l, which restrict the fraction of the total angular momentum along the quantization axis so that they are limited to the values mlℏ.
This phenomenon is known as space quantization and was first demonstrated by two German physicists, Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach.
The electron behaves like a spinning top, with its own intrinsic angular momentum of magnitude s = √((1/2)(1/2 + 1)), with permissible values along the quantization axis of msh = ±(1/2)ℏ.
It should be pointed out that Planck's quantization refers to the oscillators of the blackbody or of heated substances.
