    Introduction The Landé g-factor, named after Alfred Landé, is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the magnetic moment and angular momentum of atomic and subatomic particles in quantum physics. This value is a critical part of the Zeeman Effect, where spectral lines split due to an external magnetic field. The g-Factor in Quantum Mechanics In quantum…

    Introduction The Zeeman Effect, named after the Dutch physicist Pieter Zeeman, is the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field. It is a key phenomenon in atomic physics and quantum mechanics that illustrates the interaction between magnetic fields and the magnetic moments of atoms. Understanding the…
