The volume magnetic susceptibility, represented by the symbol χ v (often simply χ, sometimes χ m – magnetic, to distinguish from the electric susceptibility), is defined in the International System of Units – in other systems there may be additional constants – by the following relationship: [4] [5]
The primary measurement in magnetochemistry is magnetic susceptibility. This measures the strength of interaction on placing the substance in a magnetic field. The volume magnetic susceptibility , represented by the symbol χ v {\displaystyle \chi _{v}} is defined by the relationship
where χ is called the volume magnetic susceptibility, and μ is called the magnetic permeability of the material. The magnetic potential energy per unit volume (i.e. magnetic energy density) of the paramagnet (or diamagnet) in the magnetic field is:
The magnetization is the negative derivative of the free energy with respect to the applied field, and so the magnetization per unit volume is = , where n is the number density of magnetic moments. [1]: 117 The formula above is known as the Langevin paramagnetic equation.
This means that their volume magnetic susceptibility is = −1. Diamagnetics are defined by the generation of a spontaneous magnetization of a material which directly opposes the direction of an applied field. However, the fundamental origins of diamagnetism in superconductors and normal materials are very different.
In electricity (electromagnetism), the electric susceptibility (; Latin: susceptibilis "receptive") is a dimensionless proportionality constant that indicates the degree of polarization of a dielectric material in response to an applied electric field. The greater the electric susceptibility, the greater the ability of a material to polarize in ...
Susceptibility to pathogens is the extent to which a plant, vegetation complex, or ecological community would suffer from a pathogen if exposed, without regard to the likelihood of exposure – the opposite of Plant disease resistance
The hyperpolarizability, a nonlinear-optical property of a molecule, is the second order electric susceptibility per unit volume. [1] The hyperpolarizability can be calculated using quantum chemical calculations developed in several software packages. [2] [3] [4] See nonlinear optics.
