SUMMARY
Diamagnetic materials exhibit a magnetic response that is independent of temperature changes. Unlike paramagnetic materials, which experience increased magnetization upon cooling due to the alignment of dipole moments, diamagnetic materials do not form domains and their magnetism arises solely from electron spin. Consequently, thermal motion does not affect the magnetic behavior of diamagnetic substances, confirming that temperature variations do not influence their net magnetic field or permeability.
