Hi again,
It is well known the precession frequency of a free electron under a magnetic field, know as the Larmor frequency. However, i have not found any mention to the angle between the spin magnetic moment and the magnetic field.
If the angle changes, to keep the same frequency the rotation...
ok! After racking my brain i got the solution to the riddle.
Experimentally measured electron magnetic moment:
In order to measure the magnetic moment of a free electron a magnetic field must be applied and only the z-coordinate of the magnetic moment is measured. The question of how we...
For instance in this example they give different formulae for the spin contribution and for the orbital contribution to the magnetic moment of the electron.
The orbital contribution is how it should look like, i.e., mu= sqrt[l(l+1)] Bohr magnetons
But not the spin constribution, which is just s...
Yes, they are vectors.
g is a scalar quantity, and is called the electron gyromagnetic ratio or spin g-factor, i.e., the ratio between the MAGNITUDES of the magnetic spin angular momentum to the spin angular momentum ans is very close to two.

Actually the...
So far I have found two completely different values of the electron magnetic moment and i need help to know in which cases these are applicable:
They both refer (i think) to values of the particle as such, without orbital contribution. Just the spin contribution to the magnetic moment
1st...
