Weissn.
/vʌɪs/, /wʌɪs/, U.S. /waɪs/, /vaɪs/ Weiss magneton n. a disused unit (equal to approximately one-fifth of a Bohr magneton) arrived at as the highest common factor of the measured magnetic moments of the atoms of various elements.

1927 N. V. Sidgwick Electronic Theory of Valency 208 The Bohr magneton..is almost exactly five (4·96) times the Weiss magneton.
1932 J. H. Van Vleck Theory Electr. & Magn. Susceptibilities ix. 228 Although many molecules are still found to have moments which are integral multiples of the Weiss magneton within the experimental error, this is probably fortuitous, for there are many reasons for believing the Weiss magneton phenomenon to be spurious.
