For identical isotropic closed-shell atoms of number density , with electrons and mean squared radius per electron, the quadratic magnetic field energy is . It follows from the term with . Differentiating the energy with respect to field and using yields the negative SI volume magnetic susceptibility. For helium, ; combining it with the independent spin-one-half nuclear response gives a density-independent sign-change scale .
