The orbital magnetic moment and the orbital magnetic susceptibility at finite temperature for a charged oscillator in a magnetic field of arbitrary strength are calculated exactly. Landau diamagnetism, a purely quantum mechanical non-vanishing diamagnetic susceptibility in the absence of a magnetic field and the Langevin formula are obtained as special cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
