Diamagnetic definition, as used in chemistry, chemical engineering, and physics. ... Definition: Descriptive term which indicates that a substance contains no unpaired electrons and thus is not attracted to a magnetic field. Examples: NH3 is diamagnetic because all of the electrons in NH3 are paired.

Diamagnetic, Paramagnetic, and Ferromagnetic Materials ... Diamagnetic metals have a very weak and negative susceptibility to magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are slightly repelled by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed.

are usually considered to be non-magnetic but in fact, they are very weakly diamagnetic. Diamagnets repel, and are repelled by a strong magnetic field. The electrons in a diamagnetic material rearrange their orbits slightly creating small persistent currents which oppose the external magnetic field.

Materials may be classified by their response to externally applied magnetic fields as diamagnetic, paramagnetic, or ferromagnetic. These magnetic responses differ greatly in strength. Diamagnetism is a property of all materials and opposes applied magnetic fields, but is very weak.

When I first heard of diamagnetic levitation, I was fascinated and I knew I just had to do it. ... The way it works is simple: diamagnetic materials are slightly (very slightly) repelled by magnetic fields, so if you have a relatively massive piece of diamagnetic material, a small, powerful magnet will itself be pushed away...

Until recently a laboratory curiosity, diamagnetism has entered the commercial world as part of a hybrid levitation system in which a diamagnetic force provides the necessary control stability and permanent magnets supply the lift. ... Diamagnetic, Paramagnetic, and Ferromagnetic Materials; To understand diamagnetism,

Suspend a magnet in mid-air (magnetic levitation) ... Experimenting with magnetorheological fluids. ... The bismuth disks are diamagnetic. This means that they push away from a magnet. It doesn't matter whether the north pole of the magnet or the south pole is used, the bismuth always pushes away.

Experimental Science for Everyone ... The photos above show three variations of the diamagnetic levitation experiment--a magnet levitating between Carbon-Graphite plates, a magnet levitating between Bismuth plates, and a chip of Carbon-Graphite levitating over magnets.

Substances having a negative magnetic susceptibility are diamagnetic. They are repelled out of a magnetic field. ... PAC, 1994, 66, 1077 (Glossary of terms used in physical organic chemistry (IUPAC Recommendations 1994)) on page 1105...
