Abstract
[Introduction]
One of the most fundamental problems in the study of the structure of matter is the origin of diamagnetism. The phenomenon was first observed by Brugmans who noticed that metallic bismuth was repelled from the pole pieces of a magnet. It was Faraday, however, who first made a systematic investigation of a large number of materials, and found that bismuth was not a singular case, but that the diamagnetic behavior was common to many other substances in a greater or less degree.
