magnetic moment

Examples

• All

• That base magnetic field aligns all of the tiny hydrogen nuclei or protons in your body which have a magnetic moment, which means they act like tiny magnets.

• So for a neutron or a proton the magnetic moment is much much smaller.

  MIT OpenCourseWare

• Or really it's the dot product of the magnetic moment and the and the magnetic field.

• A good example for this is the magnetic moment of the Muon.

  Sabine Hossenfelder

• But Rabi also wanted to measure the signs of the magnetic moments.

  Academic text (1993)

• Two groups have now verified the fact that the Muon has a differing magnetic moment than predicted by the standard model.

• The experiments were far more difficult than the original SGE because the magnetic moments of nuclei are a thousand times smaller than those for electrons.

  Academic text (2003)

• The magnetic moment is due solely to a half unit of spin angular momentum, which accounts for the twofold splitting.

  Academic text (2003)

• In both GMR devices and in MTJs, the resistance depends on the relative directions of the magnetic moments because the electrons occupy different energy states depending on their spin.

  Academic text (2004)

• The interaction between rare earth magnetic moments in a metal (known as the RKKY interaction) is mediated by the conduction electrons.
