Abstract

In 1921, Gerlach and Stern observed that a beam of silver atoms splits into two lines when it is subjected to a magnetic field. While the line splitting in optical spectra, first found by Zeeman in 1896, could be explained by the angular momentum of the electrons, the s-electron of silver could not be subject to such a momentum, not to mention that an azimuthal quantum number l = 1/2 cannot be explained by classical physics. At that time, quantum mechanics was still an emerging field in physics and it took another three years until this anormal Zeeman effect was correctly interpreted by the joint research of Uhlenbeck, a classical physicist, and Goudsmit, a fellow of Paul Ehrenfest. They postulated a so-called ‘spin’, a quantized angular momentum, as an intrinsic property of the electron. This research marks the cornerstone of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy which is based on the transitions between quantized states of the resulting magnetic moment.

The correct term for B is magnetic induction. The term magnetic field originates from older magnetic resonance literature and is still commonly used while its symbol H was replaced by B.
