Question

From molecular view point, discuss the temperature dependence of susceptibility for diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism.

Short Note

Solution

Diamagnetism is due to the orbital motion of electrons in an atom developing magnetic moments opposite to the applied field. Thus, the resultant magnetic moment of the diamagnetic material is zero, and hence the susceptibility x of diamagnetic material is not much affected by temperature.

Paramagnetism and ferromagnetism is due to alignments of atomic magnetic moments in the direction of the applied field. As temperature is raised, the alignment is disturbed, resulting decrease in susceptibility of both with increase in temperature.
