Abstract:
We describe a magnetic relation in analogy to the well-known dielectric Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation [R. H. Lyddane et al., Phys. Rev. 59, 673 (1941)PHRVAO0031-899X10.1103/PhysRev.59.673]. This magnetic relation follows directly from the model equations for nuclear induction due to fast oscillating electromagnetic fields [F. Bloch, Phys. Rev. 70, 460 (1946)PHRVAO0031-899X10.1103/PhysRev.70.460] and relates the static permeability with the product over all ratios of antiresonance and resonance frequencies associated with all magnetic excitations within a given specimen. The magnetic relation differs significantly from its dielectric analog where the static properties are related to ratios of the squares of resonance frequencies. We demonstrate the validity of the magnetic Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation using optical magnetization data from terahertz electron magnetic resonance spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements in the presence of an external magnetic field on an iron-doped semiconductor crystal of gallium nitride.

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...
Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
