In weak magnetic field and the regime of paramagnetism, localized magnetic moments with total angular momentum and Landé g-factor have SI volume magnetic susceptibility
within the Curie–Weiss law. Here counts magnetic ions per volume, is the vacuum permeability, is the Bohr magneton, and is the Weiss temperature. The factor is the zero-field average of the squared angular projection over .
For one magnetic ion per formula unit, a molar volume contains magnetic ions, where is the Avogadro constant. Consequently , and the molar magnetic susceptibility is
Defining the dimensionless effective paramagnetic moment by , numerical substitution gives
The normalization is per mole of formula units, which here also means per mole of magnetic ions.
