Paramagnetism

Form of magnetism where certain materials are attracted by an externally applied magnetic field and form internal, induced magnetic fields in the direction of the applied magnetic field. Unlike ferromagnetic materials, paramagnetic materials do not retain magnetization in the absence of an external magnetic field, due to the presence of unpaired electrons in their atomic or molecular structure. This property is particularly relevant to materials like aluminum, platinum, and certain transition metal complexes, and is of interest to scientists and engineers working with magnetic fields and materials science.
