The Theoretical Magneton Numbers in Weiss Units

Abstract

As in several cases the experimental ionic magneton numbers may be regarded as established to within a few hundredths of a Weiss magneton, and as, on the other hand, the theoretical values given by Hund,1 Laporte-Sommerfeld,2 and Bose-Stoner3 are accurate only to a few tenths of a magneton, it may be useful to tabulate the more exactly calculated magneton numbers expected from the different theories.
