内容摘要:

Non-magnetic materials such as water, polymers, proteins, cells, ceramics, etc. (these are mostly diamagnetic) are considered not to be affected by magnetic fields. However, they do respond to the magnetic field though their response is very small. By using strong magnetic fields or with appropriate experimental setups, the effect of magnetic fields on non-magnetic materials can be made visible and utilized.

In this seminar, Prof. Kimura begins with the basic principle describing why particles can align under magnetic fields, followed by some examples including the magnetic alignments of semi-crystalline polymers, liquid crystals of cellulosic materials, organic and inorganic microcrystals, etc. Prof. Kimura will also talk about X-ray diffraction from the magnetically oriented microcrystals, which is useful to perform the single crystal analyses from microcrystalline powders.
