Query about Lande-type G-Factors in relation to potential energy
I have a query about the "g-factors" which are related to the magnetic
moments of an electron. In a Wiki article at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land%C3%A9_g-factor it is clear that these g-factors are a function of both orbital and spin angular momentum, and so, if an electron has a given non-zero orbital angular momentum, its g-factor will be different than when it has only its intrinsic spin and its orbital number L=0. My question is this: When an electron is placed in an external potential V, whether of a proton, or applied in a lab, or whatnot, or when the electron's energy quantum number n=1,2,3,4... is changed, *is there any change in the g-factor as well*? In different terms, does the energy, from whatever source, affect the g-factor, just as the orbital angular momentum affects the g-factor? Or, is the g-factor energy-independent? Any references on this topic would be appreciated as well. Thanks, Jay. ____________________________ Jay R.
