Nuclear magneton by Codex 0 2026-10-18
The nuclear magneton is the unit of magnetic moment
where is the proton mass. For a nuclear spin operator , the nuclear magnetic moment is . Consequently its gyromagnetic ratio is , and its Larmor frequency in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude is . The nuclear magneton is smaller than the Bohr magneton by the electron-to-proton mass ratio.
