Diamagnetism is a type of magnetism exhibited by materials that are weakly repelled by an external magnetic field. Diamagnetic materials have paired electrons that orbit in opposite directions, resulting in no net magnetic moment. When placed in a magnetic field, diamagnetic materials produce a weak, induced magnetic field that opposes the external field. Examples include bismuth, copper, and water. The magnetic permeability of diamagnetic materials is less than that of free space.

Diamagnetism

Diamagnetic materials exhibit a type of magnetism known as diamagnetism. Materials which are weakly
repelled to the magnet or external magnetic field are called diamagnetic materials. Diamagnetic
materials have all the Paired electrons, i.e., the electrons occupy the same orbital of an atom but
orbiting and spinning in opposite direction and thus diamagnetic materials have no net magnetic
moment or magnetic field strength. When diamagnetic materials are place in the magnetic field of
magnet, It creates a slight magnetic field that opposes the external magnetic field. Diamagnetic
materials produces the weak magnetic field as the result of change in orbital motion of electrons due to
the external magnetic field.

Example: bismuth, antimony, copper, gold, quartz, mercury, water, alcohol, air, hydrogen etc..

Magnetic permeability of the diamagnetic material is less than the permeability of free space. The ability
of a particular material to support the magnetic field with in itself is called magnetic permeability. When
diamagnetic materials are placed in the external magnetic field, the magnetic field strength or magnetic
moment inside the diamagnetic material is less than magnetic moment or magnetic field strength in the
air surrounding the material

Paramagnetism

Paramagnetic materials exhibit a type of magnetism known as paramagnetism. Materials which are
slightly attracted to a magnet are called paramagnetic materials. When paramagnetic materials are
placed in the strong external magnetic field, it gets weakly magnetized. Paramagnetic materials has more
unpaired electrons, I.e.,the electron occupy the orbital of an atom singly rather than a pair.

Examples of paramagnetism are molybdenum, lithium, tantalum, and magnesium. These materials have
unpaired electrons. Metals that have aluminum, calcium, and tungsten are also example of
paramagentism.

Ferromagnetism

Ferromagnetic materials exhibit a type of magnetism known as ferromagnetism. Materials which are
strongly attracted to a magnet are called ferromagnetic materials. When ferromagnetic materials are
placed in the strong external magnetic field, it gets strongly magnetized.

These materials continue to hold magnetism even in the absence of strong external magnetic field.
Ferromagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons, so their atoms have some net magnetic field
strength.

Example of ferromagnetism is a refrigerator magnet used to hold notes on a refrigerator door.


Anti ferromagnetism

Anti ferromagnetic materials exhibit a type of magnetism known as anti ferromagnetism. In anti
ferromagnetic materials the magnetic moments of neighboring electrons point in opposite direction.

Therefore, it has zero net magnetic moment. In these materials the alignment of magnetic movement
of the atoms are combinations of both parallel and anti parallel.

Examples of antiferromagnetic substances: MnO, FeO, CoO, NiO, Cr, Mn,

MnO4, MnS, FeCl3, MnF2

Ferrimagnetism

Ferrite exhibit a type of magnetism known as ferrimagnetism. The ferrimagnetic materials does not lose
its magnetism even in the absence of external magnetic field.

In ferrimagnetic materials atoms have opposing magnetic moments or magnetic field strengths, but
these opposing magnetic moments are unequal. Therefore, there exist some net magnetic moment.
