According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron and to the direction of the magnetic field, and whose magnitude is easily determined. Pieter Zeeman
In the absence of a magnetic field the period of all these oscillations is the same. But as soon as the electron is exposed to the effect of a magnetic field, its motion changes. Pieter Zeeman
Now all oscillatory movements of such an electron can be conceived of as being split up into force, and two circular oscillations perpendicular to this direction rotating in opposite directions. Pieter Zeeman
Now if this electron is displaced from its equilibrium position, a force that is directly proportional to the displacement restores it like a pendulum to its position of rest. Pieter Zeeman
My own interest in basic aspects of electron transfer between metal complexes became active only after I came to the University of Chicago in 1946. Henry Taube
The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change in its surface layer. Johannes Stark
