For independent localized two-state moments of projections ±μ along a field, the one-ion partition function is Z1​=2cosh[μB/(kB​T)]. Its thermal mean gives M=nμtanh[μB/(kB​T)]. A J=1/2 ion has μ=gJ​μB​/2, so the special value μ=μB​ additionally assumes gJ​=2. At weak field the SI volume susceptibility is χH​=μ0​nμ2/(kB​T), neglecting demagnetizing corrections.
