  5. Magneticmoment: Determines the angular momentum (ortorque) a magnet will experience in an externalappliedmagneticfield isthevectorthatrelatesthealigningtorque on an objectfrom an externallyappliedmagneticfieldtothefieldvectoritself. With an unknown sample orobjectyoucanmeasurethetorqueby an appliedknownexternalmagneticfieldandgetthemagneticmoment.

  6. Gyromagneticratio: Ratio ofitsmagneticmomenttoits angular momentum (classicalbody) The gyromagneticratiocanbewrittenas Thereforethemagneticmomentis For an isolatedelectron (quantummechanical) An electronhas a spin noclassicalrotation (quantummechanicalphenomenon) so

  8. Electron spin: • Followsthe same mathematicallawsasquantized angular momenta, but • Noclassicalrotation quantummechanicalphenomenon • Spin as an intrinsic form of angular momentumforelementaryparticles, hadronsandnucleiwith a definite magnitudeand a direction (upand down) • Spin quantumnumberonlytakes half-integer values (0, ½, 1, 3/2, 2, …) • Onlyspindirectioncanbechanged in spinuporspin down but not ist value • The calculationofthemagneticmomentof an electronneeds an electron g factor different from 1 (like in classicalcases) • Spin angular momentum
