Format of zeeman_constants.xml:
@ Isotope GS Spin Hund_case
where GS is a constant for the molecule that calculates the effective g-value,
Spin is a molecular constant, and Hund_case tells the program to estimate the
calculations with a specific Hund case.
The Zeeman split is calculated with changes in energy levels. Essentially,
dE = g M C_Z,
where
g = GS/2 * g_H,
and g_H is a function of the quantum numbers for a certain transition and
certain Hund case, M is the quantum number projection of the total angular
momentum on the magnetic field, and C_Z is a function of physical constants and
the magnetic field.
The change in frequency is then calculated from
df = dE'-dE'',
where the primes tells you that the quantum numbers are before and after the
transition.
Hund case a is number "0", and
Hund case b is number "1".
GS = 2.0023193043622 means that the electron is free, and is used when we had no
data for GS, but rather just guessed.
The GS values for O2, NO, OH, ClO, and SO are from
