Gyromagnetic Ratio

From NMR Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Gyromagnetic Ratio is defined by:

 \gamma = \frac{e}{2m_p}g = g \mu_\mathrm{N}/\hbar,

where \displaystyle e is the magnitude of electron charge, \displaystyle m_p is the proton mass, \displaystyle \hbar is reduced Planck constant, \displaystyle \mu_\mathrm{N} is the nuclear magneton, and \displaystyle g is the g-factor of the nucleon or nucleus in question.

Approximate values for some common nuclei are given in the Table below.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
