Example types with diamagnetism

The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:

However, the fundamental origins of diamagnetism in superconductors and normal materials are very different. (14 words)

However, since diamagnetism is such a weak property its effects are not observable in everyday life. (16 words)

Langevin diamagnetism The Langevin theory of diamagnetism applies to materials containing atoms with closed shells (see dielectrics ). (17 words)

Perfect diamagnetism Superconductors in the Meissner state exhibit perfect diamagnetism, or superdiamagnetism, meaning that the total magnetic field is very close to zero deep inside them (many penetration depths from the surface). (32 words)

In normal materials diamagnetism arises as a direct result of the orbital spin of electrons about the nuclei of an atom induced electromagnetically by the application of an applied field. (30 words)

In superconductors the illusion of perfect diamagnetism arises from persistent screening currents which flow to oppose the applied field (the Meissner effect); not solely the orbital spin. (27 words)

However, the classical theory for Langevin diamagnetism gives the same prediction as the quantum theory. citation The classical theory is given below.

However, the fundamental origins of diamagnetism in superconductors and normal materials are very different.

In most materials diamagnetism is a weak effect, but a superconductor repels the magnetic field entirely, apart from a thin layer at the surface.

In normal materials diamagnetism arises as a direct result of the orbital spin of electrons about the nuclei of an atom induced electromagnetically by the application of an applied field.

In superconductors the illusion of perfect diamagnetism arises from persistent screening currents which flow to oppose the applied field (the Meissner effect); not solely the orbital spin.

The Bohr–van Leeuwen theorem proves that there cannot be any diamagnetism or paramagnetism in a purely classical system.
