characteristics...in the study of subatomic particles. The Bohr magneton, named for the 20th-century Danish physicist Niels Bohr, is equal to about 9.274 × 10−21 erg per gauss per particle. The nuclear magneton, calculated by using the mass of the proton (rather than that of the electron, used to calculate the Bohr magneton) equals 1/1,836 Bohr magneton.
magnetic dipole moment...moment of electrons is the Bohr magneton (equivalent to 9.27 × 10−24 ampere–square metre). A similar unit for magnetic moments of nuclei, protons, and neutrons is the nuclear magneton (equivalent to 5.051 × 10−27 ampere–square metre).
