    Diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic materials react differently to external magnetic fields based on their atomic structure and number of unpaired electrons. Diamagnetic materials have all paired electrons and are slightly repelled by magnetic fields. Paramagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons and are slightly attracted to magnetic fields. Ferromagnetic materials have strong magnetic properties from the alignment of atomic magnetic moments into magnetic domains, allowing them to strongly attract and retain magnetization.

    Diamagnetic, Paramagnetic, and Ferromagnetic Materials

    When a material is placed within a magnetic field, the magnetic forces of the material's electrons
    will be affected. This effect is known as Faraday's Law of Magnetic Induction. However,
    materials can react quite differently to the presence of an external magnetic field. This reaction is
    dependent on a number of factors, such as the atomic and molecular structure of the material, and
    the net magnetic field associated with the atoms. The magnetic moments associated with atoms
    have three origins. These are the electron orbital motion, the change in orbital motion caused by
    an external magnetic field, and the spin of the electrons.
    In most atoms, electrons occur in pairs. Electrons in a pair
    pin in opposite directions. So, when electrons are paired
    together, their opposite spins cause their magnetic fields to
    cancel each other. Therefore, no net magnetic field exists.
    Alternately, materials with some unpaired electrons will
    have a net magnetic field and will react more to an external
    field. Most materials can be classified as diamagnetic,
    paramagnetic or .ferromagnetic.
    Diamagnetic metals have a very weak and negative
    susceptibility to magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are
    slightly repelled by a magnetic field and the material does
    not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is
    removed. Diamagnetic materials are solids with all paired electron resulting in no permanent net
    magnetic moment per atom. Diamagnetic properties arise from the realignment of the electron
    orbits under the influence of an external magnetic field. Most elements in the periodic table,
    including copper, silver, and gold, are diamagnetic.
    Paramagnetic metals have a small and positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials
    are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties
    when the external field is removed. Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some
    unpaired electrons, and from the realignment of the electron orbits caused by the external
    magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium, molybdenum, lithium, and tantalum.
    Ferromagnetic materials have a large and positive susceptibility to an external magnetic field.
    They exhibit a strong attraction to magnetic fields and are able to retain their magnetic properties
    after the external field has been removed. Ferromagnetic materials have some unpaired electrons
    so their atoms have a net magnetic moment. They get their strong magnetic properties due to the
    presence of magnetic domains. In these domains, large numbers of atom's moments (1012 to 1015)
    are aligned parallel so that the magnetic force within the domain is strong. When a ferromagnetic
    material is in the unmagnitized state, the domains are nearly randomly organized and the net
    magnetic field for the part as a whole is zero. When a magnetizing force is applied, the domains
    become aligned to produce a strong magnetic field within the part. Iron, nickel, and cobalt are
    examples of ferromagnetic materials. Components with these materials are commonly inspected
    using the magnetic particle method.
