A diamagnetic material.
"In simple terms, diamagnetic materials are substances that are usually repelled by a magnetic field. Electrons in an atom revolve around the nucleus, and thus possess orbital angular momentum. The resultant magnetic momentum in an atom of the diamagnetic material is zero."
- Baeocystin 3y agoAm I correct in my understanding that being capable of self-levitation would be an unusually strong example of the diamagnetic effect?
- lucubratory 3y agoYes, if this material is diamagnetic without being a superconductor it is by far the strongest such material we've ever found. 15x stronger than pyrolitic graphite.
- tavavex 3y agoFrom what I heard, it would. This kind of diamagnetism would be strong enough to be potentially interesting in other applications and research, if it turns out not to be a superconductor.
- nine_k 3y agoWould still be useful for maglev, I assume?
- ajnin 3y agoNot over a single dipole magnet. The "shape" of the field wouldn't make it stable, you'd need to add other magnets or a piece of string to stabilise. As I understand stable levitation over a dipole magnet is indicative of flux pinning which is a property exclusive to type II superconductors.
