paramagnetic. Compare with diamagnetism and ferromagnetism. Paramagnetic materials are attracted to a magnetic field due to the presence of least one unpaired spin in their atoms or molecules.

Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism whereby certain materials are attracted by an externally applied magnetic field, and form internal, induced magnetic fields in the direction of the applied magnetic field. In contrast with this behavior, diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields and form induced magnetic fields in the direction oppo...

A type of magnetism that occurs in substances with a positive magnetic susceptibility. It results in these substances being weakly attracted by a strong magnet. Paramagnetism is caused by the presence of at least one unpaired electron orbital (i.e., an unpaired spin) in the atoms, molecules, or ions...

The property of a substance which is attracted to a magnet. It is similar to ferromagnetism except that the attraction is weaker. When a paramagnetic material is placed in a strong magnetic field, it becomes a magnet as long as the strong magnetic field is present. But when the strong magnetic field is removed the magnetic effect is lost. Below t...

A relatively weak form of magnetism that results from the independent alignment of atomic dipoles (magnetic) with an applied magnetic field. Atoms with unpaired electrons are paramagnetic. Paramagnetic materials are weakly magnetized when brought into proximity to a magnet. See also: Curie Temperature.
