magneton

(ˈmæɡnɪˌtɒn; mæɡˈniːtɒn)
n
1. (Units) Also called: Bohr magneton a unit of magnetic moment equal to eh/4πm where e and m are the charge and mass of an electron and h is the Planck constant. It has the value 9.274 096 × 10–24 joule per tesla. Symbol: β or mB
2. (Units) Also called: nuclear magneton a similar unit equal to βm/M where M is the mass of the proton
[C20: from magnet + (electr)on]

When traveling through the field, the spin-up electrons get the additional energy [micro]H, where p stands for the Bohr magneton, whereas the spin-down ones release the same energy.
The electron behaves not only as the unit of electric charge but also as the unit of magnetic charge or magneton. Several important physicists, including Webster, Gilbert, Grondahl and Page, conducted studies that supported Parson's Ring Electron Model.
