Diamagnetism is the property of materials that are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force. In contrast, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials are attracted by a magnetic field.
While all materials have a diamagnetic component, paramagnetism overcomes diamagnetism in atoms with unpaired electrons. Diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic are the three main types of magnetic materials.
In simple terms, diamagnetic materials are substances that are usually repelled by a magnetic field. Electrons in an atom revolve around the nucleus, and thus possess orbital angular momentum. The resultant magnetic momentum in an atom of the diamagnetic material is zero.
Diamagnetism is the term for the magnetism displayed by certain materials. A magnet generally repels diamagnetic materials. Technically, these solids produce an induced magnetic field in the opposite direction of an externally applied magnetic field and are repelled by it.
Diamagnetic materials are substances that, when placed in a magnetic field, become magnetized in the opposite direction to the applied magnetic field. It causes them to be repelled by the magnetic field.
Diamagnetism is a property exhibited by certain materials, known as diamagnetic materials, that cause them to create a weak magnetic field in the opposite direction when placed in an external magnetic field. It results in the material being repelled by the magnetic field rather than attracted to it, as with paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials.
Magnetic materials can be roughly classified into three main groups: diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic. A thorough understanding of how these materials interact with an external field requires a knowledge of quantum theory.
Diamagnetic materials are composed of atoms which have no net magnetic moment. The magnetic susceptibility of a diamagnetic material is negative and arises from the response of the electronic orbital moment to an external field; under the applied magnetic field, the diamagnetic material is repelled [69]. However, in most diamagnetic materials ...
Diamagnetism, kind of magnetism characteristic of materials that line up at right angles to a nonuniform magnetic field and that partly expel from their interior the magnetic field in which they are placed.
Diamagnetic materials have a very weak negative susceptibility. All materials are diamagnetic, even if their diamagnetism is hidden by their greater para- or ferromagnetism.
