g-<strong>factor</strong> <strong>of</strong> the free <strong>electron</strong><br />
The Zeeman splitting <strong>of</strong> the <strong>electron</strong> ground state in a magnetic field<br />
⃗B = B · ⃗e z is given by<br />
∆E 1s = −⃗µ · ⃗B<br />
This is proportional to the Larmor precession frequency <strong>of</strong> the <strong>electron</strong><br />
∆E 1s = ω L<br />
The magnetic field is characterised by the cyclotron frequency<br />
ω c = e m B<br />
