In contrast with this behavior, diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields.

Graphite and Bismuth are some of the strongest diamagnetic materials.

A diamagnetic material becomes magnetized backwards from the approaching magnet.

The diamagnetic material and the magnet repel each other.

In a diamagnetic material, the reverse is true.

I know that Bismuth is the best diamagnetic material.

This means that diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields.

In diamagnetic materials, such as copper, lead, and silver, the atoms have no permanent magnetic moment.

Strongly diamagnetic materials though can be used for levitation above powerful magnets.

This gap is filled with a diamagnetic material, such as gold.
