The Bohr magneton (symbol ), sometimes also called Landé factor, is named after the physicist Niels Bohr. It is a physical constant of magnetic moment, defined by:

where:
is the elementary charge,
is the Dirac's constant,
is the electron rest mass

In the SI system of units it's value is approximately:
= 9.274 008 99(37) × 10-24 J·T-1
