WHAT DOES DIAMAGNET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Diamagnetism

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field. It is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs in all materials; where it is the only contribution to the magnetism the material is called a diamagnet. Unlike a ferromagnet, a diamagnet is not a permanent magnet. Its magnetic permeability is less than μ0. In most materials diamagnetism is a weak effect, but a superconductor repels the magnetic field entirely, apart from a thin layer at the surface. Diamagnets were first discovered when Sebald Justinus Brugmans observed in 1778 that bismuth and antimony were repelled by magnetic fields. The term diamagnetism was coined by Michael Faraday in September 1845, when he realized that every material responded to an applied magnetic field.
