| magneton | A unit of measurement of the magnetic moment of a particle (e.g., atom or subatomic particle). Bohr magneton, a constant in the equation relating the difference in energies between parallel and antiparallel spin alignments of electrons in a magnetic field; the net magnetic moment of one unpaired electron; used in electron spin resonance spectrometry for detection and estimation of free radicals. Synonym: electron magneton. (05 Mar 2000) |
