By 1934 groups led by Stern, now at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, and I. I. Rabi at Columbia University in New York had independently measured the magnetic moments of the proton and deuteron. The measured values for these particles were only in rough agreement between the groups, but the Rabi group confirmed the earlier Stern measurements that the magnetic moment for the proton was unexpectedly large. Since a deuteron is composed of a proton and a neutron with aligned spins, the neutron's magnetic moment could be inferred by subtracting the deuteron and proton magnetic moments. The resulting value was not zero and had a sign opposite to that of the proton. By the late 1930s, accurate values for the magnetic moment of the neutron had been deduced by the Rabi group using measurements employing newly developed nuclear magnetic resonance techniques.
