I can not think of an instance where the Bohr magneton is called a Landé ratio. In the books I learned from, eigenvalues of the effective z-component of magnetic moment are equal to the product of the Bohr magneton, the Landé factor and the magnetic quantum number:

μ_z = m_j μ_B g_lj

The page doesn't discuss the significance of the magneton. (I unfortunately don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to add more to the page.) Anarchic Fox 06:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
