Atoms in magnetic field<br />

orbiting electron behaves like current loop<br />

• magnetic moment μ = current x area<br />

• interaction energy = μ·B (both vectors!)<br />

= μ·B <br />

• loop current = -ev/(2πr)<br />

• ang. mom. L = mvr<br />

• magnetic moment = - μ B L/ħ<br />

μ B = e ħ/2m e = “Bohr magneton”<br />

• interaction energy<br />

= m μ B B z<br />

(m = z –comp of L)<br />
