Definition of paramagnetic in English:
paramagnetic
adjective parəmaɡˈnɛtɪkˌpɛrəmæɡˈnɛdɪk
(of a substance or body) very weakly attracted by the poles of a magnet, but not retaining any permanent magnetism.
Example sentencesExamples
- The principle of EPR oximetry is based on the broadening effect of molecular oxygen on the EPR spectra of paramagnetic substances via Heisenberg spin exchange.
- When a paramagnetic material is placed in a strong magnetic field, it becomes a magnet, and as long as the strong magnetic field is present, it will attract and repel other magnets in the usual way.
- The presence of water molecules surrounding a paramagnetic metal ion can be detected via magnetic interactions with the water protons.
- In paramagnetic materials, permanent magnetic moments arise from the intrinsic angular momentum of individual electrons.
- The magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic material is inversely proportional to absolute temperature.
