How To Use magnetic moment In A Sentence

  • Using the method of renormalization which he also developed Schwinger was able to prove that a small anomalous contribution should be added to the value of the magnetic moment accepted until then.
  • In antiferromagnetic materials, the magnetic moments of the adjacent atoms point in opposite directions.
  • In diamagnetic materials, all intrinsic magnetic moments are cancelled out by the pairing of electrons.
  • An example is periodic motion, such as the precession of a particle with intrinsic spin and magnetic moment in a constant magnetic field.
  • So it not only gives you a consistent description, but it does so in a way that inevitably points out that the electron must have a spin and a magnetic moment.
  • In paramagnetic materials, permanent magnetic moments arise from the intrinsic angular momentum of individual electrons.
  • Starting from this idea Kusch made a series of very careful investigations and found in 1947 that the magnetic moment of the electron is larger than the Bohr magneton by about one part in a thousand. Nobel Prize in Physics 1955 - Presentation Speech
  • Sometimes the magnetic moment in one direction is larger than that in the other and the material shows some degree of magnetization at high enough magnetic fields.
  • The three well-known parameters of motion (magnetic momentum, energy and canonical toroidal momentum) are utilized to develop a guiding center orbit code, GCORBIT.
  • Some neutral particles such as photons are their own antiparticles, while others like neutrons have antiparticles with opposite magnetic moments.
