Lamor precession
The orbital motion of the electrons about the nucleus of an atom is usually such as to give the atom a resultant angular momentum and a magnetic moment. These two properties cause the atom to precess about the direction of any applied magnetic field. This is Larmor precession, and its frequency is the Larmor frequency.
