Bohr magneton

The Bohr magneton (symbol <math>\mu-B</math>), sometimes also called Landé factor, is named after the physicist Niels Bohr. It is a physical constant of magnetic moment[?], defined by:

<math>\mu-B = {{e \hbar} \over {2 m-e}}</math>
where:
<math>e</math> is the elementary charge,
<math>\hbar</math> is the Dirac's constant,
<math>m-e</math> is the electron rest mass

In the SI system of units it's value is approximately:

<math>\mu-B</math> = 9.274 008 99(37) × 10-24 J·T-1
