These materials don't possess permanent dipole and hence the magnetic effects are smallSince the induced magnetic moment always oppose the applied field, the diamagnetic susceptibility is negative.

It is always temperature independent.

Diamagnetic materials usually repel the magnetic line of force.

Summary Diamagnetism

e.g.: Bi, H2O, CO2, Ge, Si etc.

Para-magnetism

• B>B0 , is positive, μr>1, .

• The permanent magnetic moment results from the following contributions:

1. The spin or intrinsic moments of the electrons.

2. The orbital motion of the electrons.

3. The spin magnetic moment of the nucleus.

A form of magnetism which occurs only in the presence of externally applied magnetic field and materials are attracted to magnetic field.

Page 4: Lecture 4_ Para Magnetism

Paramagnetism

• Paramagnetism is observed in:1. Metals2. Atoms and molecules possessing an odd number of

electrons, that is free sodium atoms, gaseous nitric oxide etc.

3. A few compounds having an even number of electrons (example Oxygen molecule)

4. Free atoms or ions having a partially filled inner shell e.g. rare earth and actinide elements, ions of some transition elements such as Mn2+ Manganese, platinum, tungsten, some members of rare earth group and ions formed by removing and adding electrons to basic atoms there by creating unpaired spins.

Basic assumptions of Langevin’s classical theory

• The theory considers the paramagnetic solids in terms of paramagnetic gas, in which each particle is assumed to bear a permanent magnetic moment .

• Mutual interaction between dipoles is assumed to be negligible.

• Orientation of permanent magnetic dipole moment.

- Paramagnetism has net magnetic moments:

• No field : M=0 • Field is applied, low Temp.

• Conclusions from Langavin function: 1. Saturation will occur if a is large enough. ⇒ Large B or low T is necessary 2. At small a, the magnetization M varies linearly with B.

. Curie-Weiss law; Wiess Theory of Paramagnetism:

Lengevin’s theory failed to explain the complicated type of dependence of susceptibility upon temperature exhibited by many paramagnetic substances

e.g. Compressed & cooled gases

Solid salts & crystals etc.

Moreover, this theory does not throw light on the intimate relationship between para & ferromagnetic materials

Page 17: Lecture 4_ Para Magnetism

To overcome these problems, the concept of intermolecular field was introduced by Weiss, on assuming the mutual influence of magnetic moments.

Molecular field (Hi) : The interaction of elementary moments with one another

Let this internal molecular field Hi be represented in terms of its own magnetization

Hi = λ M

λ - molecular field coefficient

. Paramagnetic materials ⇒atoms or ions which have a net magnetic moment because of noncancellation of the spin and orbital component.

• Salts of the transition elements - Incomplete inner shells - Magnetic moments due almost to spin(g 2) - This metal salts obey the Curie or Curie-Weiss law with a small Θ

• Salts and oxides of the rare earths• Rare-earth elements
