Diamagnetic metals are materials that are weakly repelled by a magnetic field. Examples of diamagnetic metals include copper, gold, silver, bismuth, and mercury. These metals exhibit this behavior because their electrons pair up in orbitals, and when exposed to an external magnetic field, they create a small opposing magnetic field that results in slight repulsion.
These materials have a slight negative magnetic susceptibility, meaning they slightly distort the magnetic field in MRI scanners, but typically not to a degree that causes significant artifacts or safety concerns. Many biological tissues, like water and most soft tissues, are diamagnetic.
