Mining | A. The magnetism of a paramagnetic substance. The property by which the north pole of a magnet that is magnetized by induction is repelled to 180 degrees by the north pole of the inducing magnet b. The property possessed by a substance of producing a higher concentration of magnetic lines of force within itself than in the surrounding magnetic field when it is placed in such a field c. A property of many substances, related to ferromagnetism, by virtue of which, when placed in a nonuniform magnetic field, they tend to move toward the strongest part. Permanent magnetism is practically absent and the susceptibility, which is much less than that of iron, is constant at any given temperature, but in most substances it is nearly inversely proportional to the absolute temperature. CF:ferrimagnetism;diamagnetism. (references) |
Physics | A phenomenon by which, on an atomic scale, the magnetic moments are thermally disordered so that in the absence of an externally applied magnetic field they have no alignment but when subjected to such a field, acquire or tend to acquire, an alignment in the direction of that field.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Paramagnetism refers to the tendency of the atomic magnetic dipoles, due to quantum-mechanical spin , in a material that is otherwise non-magnetic to align with an external magnetic field. This alignment of the atomic dipoles with the magnetic field tends to strengthen it, and is described by a relative magnetic permeability greater than unity (or, equivalently, a small positive magnetic susceptibility).
In pure paramagnetism, the field acts on each atomic dipole independently and there are no interactions between individual atomic dipoles. Such paramagnetic behaviour can also be observed in ferromagnetic materials that are above their Curie temperature.
Paramagnetic materials attract and repel like normal magnets when subject to a magnetic field. Under relatively low magnetic field saturation when the most of the atomic dipoles are not aligned with the field, paramagnetic materials exhibit magnetisation according to Curie's Law:
In the above equation, M is the resulting magnetisation, B is the magnetic flux density of the applied field, T is absolute temperature (Kelvin), and C is a material-specific Curie constant. This law indicates that paramagentic materials tend to become increasingly magnetic as the applied magnetic field is increased, but less magnetic as temperature is increased.
