Abstract:
Using a two-component composite theory, we compute the internal field gradient of a periodic porous medium induced by the magnetic susceptibility contrasts. The magnetization of such a system is computed by using the diffusion eigenstates in Fourier representation. We show that the volume averaged field gradient, when used in the formula for free diffusion, significantly overestimates the magnetization decay rate. We also establish bounds for such a periodic system within which the Gaussian approximation is valid for diffusion of spins in the pore space.

Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
