Examples

However, the fundamental origins of diamagnetism in superconductors and normal materials are very different. Source: Internet

In superconductors the illusion of perfect diamagnetism arises from persistent screening currents which flow to oppose the applied field (the Meissner effect); not solely the orbital spin. Source: Internet

In most materials diamagnetism is a weak effect, but a superconductor repels the magnetic field entirely, apart from a thin layer at the surface. Source: Internet

Langevin diamagnetism The Langevin theory of diamagnetism applies to materials containing atoms with closed shells (see dielectrics ). Source: Internet

However, the classical theory for Langevin diamagnetism gives the same prediction as the quantum theory. citation The classical theory is given below. Source: Internet

However, since diamagnetism is such a weak property its effects are not observable in everyday life. Source: Internet
