Diamagnetism

Fortunately, diamagnetism is too weak to cause shipwreck in this way. ❋ Unknown (1964)

In science, I would ask, is "diamagnetism" correctly explained by terming it "the property of any substance whereby it turns itself, when freely suspended, at right angles to the magnetic meridian." ❋ Various (1852)

Professor Main, head of physics at the University of Nottingham, worked on a project to levitate a frog using an effect called diamagnetism: ‘By changing the energy of electrons whizzing around in the nuclei of atoms, you create a force that acts on a molecular level. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Faraday didn't call for a vote when he developed the laws of electrolysis or discovered diamagnetism. ❋ Unknown (2009)

If we present to it the vibrating body, it will be repelled, and we shall obtain the results known by the name of diamagnetism. ❋ Various (N/A)

If the body is more sensitive than the air, there is direct magnetism, but if it is less so, there is diamagnetism. ❋ Various (N/A)

And, moreover, they have the power of exciting fresh whirls in neighboring conductors, and of repelling them according to the laws of diamagnetism. ❋ Various (N/A)

In this way Professor Bjerknes has been able to reproduce analogues of all the phenomena of magnetism and diamagnetism, those phenomena which may be classed as effects of induction being directly reproduced, while those which may be classed as effects of mechanical action, and resulting in change of place, are analogous inversely. ❋ Various (N/A)

And the results support the theories which attribute magnetism and diamagnetism to causes of a different nature. ❋ Unknown (1923)

In his well known theory of magnetism P. Langevin, in 1905, took into account the Curie law and arrived again, theoretically, at the difference between the origins of diamagnetism and paramagnetism. ❋ Unknown (1923)

Among the most important are the discovery of magneto-electric induction, of the law of electro-chemical decomposition, of the magnetization of light, and of diamagnetism. ❋ Unknown (1909)

His greatest discoveries may be stated to have been magneto-electric induction, electro-chemical decomposition, the magnetization of light, and diamagnetism, the last announced in his memoir as the “magnetic condition of all matter.” ❋ Fuller, O E (1884)

To treat an insect as you would a magnetic needle and to subject it to the current from an induction coil in order to disturb its magnetism or diamagnetism appeared to me, I must confess, a curious notion, worthy of an imagination in the last ditch. ❋ Jean-Henri Fabre (1869)

His greatest discoveries may be stated to have been magneto-electric induction, electro-chemical decomposition, the magnetization of light, and diamagnetism, the last announced in his memoir as the "magnetic condition of all matter." ❋ Unknown (1867)

But the most rigid proof, a proof admitted to be conclusive by those who have denied the antithesis of magnetism and diamagnetism, remains to be stated. ❋ John Tyndall (1856)

Whether diamagnetism, like magnetism, was a polar force, was in those days a subject of the most lively contention. ❋ John Tyndall (1856)

The object of this discourse is to enquire whether the force of diamagnetism, which manifests itself as a repulsion of certain bodies by the poles of a magnet, is to be ranged as a polar force, beside that of magnetism; or as an unpolar force, beside that of gravitation. ❋ John Tyndall (1856)

M. Weber to the assumption that the phenomena of diamagnetism are produced by molecular currents, not _directed_, but actually _excited_ in the bismuth by the magnet. ❋ John Tyndall (1856)

At the last lecture we attended he showed the diamagnetism of flame, which had been proved by a foreign philosopher. ❋ Mary Somerville (1826)
