Relativistic descriptions for spin 0 and 1 particles of nonzero restmasses are known for a long time as the so-called Kemmer or Sakata-Taketani formulations. Through harmonic oscillatorlike interactions, we study the nonrelativistic limit of the corresponding wave equations in connection with expected spin-orbit terms. Typical Foldy-Wouthuysen developments are included in these approaches with exact results up to required orders for interacting vector mesons only. [less ▲]
