For
paramagnetic materials, the magnetic susceptibility may be
measured experimentally and used to give information on the
molecular magnetic
dipole moment, and hence on the electronic
structure of the molecules in the material. The
paramagnetic
contribution to the molar magnetic susceptibility of a material,
, is related to the molecular magnetic
dipole moment
by the
Curie relation:
