Landé g-factor

The Landé g-factor is now defined through mJ, the magnetic quantum number.

He is responsible for the Landé g-factor an explanation of the Zeeman Effect.

See Landé g-factor for details.

For a single electron above filled shells and , the Landé g-factor can be simplified into:

The value of g is related to g and g by a quantum-mechanical argument; see the article Landé g-factor.

The g-factor g is known as the Landé g-factor, which can be related to g and g by quantum mechanics.

In physics, the Landé g-factor is a particular example of a g-factor, namely for an electron with both spin and orbital angular momenta.

Calculations based on a model of electron spin as a circulating electric charge underestimate this magnetic moment by a factor of approximately 2, the Landé g-factor.

The form factor F(0) corresponds to the anomalous magnetic moment a of the fermion, defined in terms of the Landé g-factor as:

The theory of QED predicts a relationship between the dimensionless magnetic moment of the electron and the fine-structure constant α (the magnetic moment of the electron is also referred to as "Landé g-factor" and symbolized as g).
