Asymmetric Top Orbital Transition Moment

This is in principle the interaction of the magnetic moment of the electron spin with an external magnetic field:

gSμBB.S

but is expressed as a tensor to allow for residual orbital angular momentum. It is typically written in spherical tensor notation as:

gSμBB.S - μBBk=0..2(-1)k((2k+1)/3)½T1(glk,S)

The default has gSaa = gSbb = gScc = gS =  2.0023193043622, which corresponds to the first term in this expression. All the parameters have units of Bohr Magnetons.
