Larmor-Langevin susceptibility
ID: larmor-langevin-susceptibility
The dimensionless SI volume magnetic susceptibility of number density of independent spherical bound electrons with mass and electron-weighted mean-square orbital radius. In a uniform magnetic field, the quadratic minimal-coupling Hamiltonian gives . Spherical symmetry gives ; differentiating twice with respect to gives the displayed negative response. Atomic orbitals use the bare electron mass, whereas a shallow donor envelope within an effective mass approximation uses that envelope's effective mass.
