[Sensitivity of the diamagnetic condensed matter to weak magnetic fields].
It is shown that, under the influence of magnetic field, rotational moments of the same direction appear for all charged particles having the same sign of their charge and freely moving in a thermal fluctuational electromagnetic field in a diamagnetic condensed matter. The magnitude of this rotational moment is proportional to the thermal energy kT and can be substantially increased when the conditions for cyclotron resonance are satisfied. The moments of positively charged particles are directed oppositely to the vector of the magnetic field induction. The so-called "kT problem" has been solved. The evidence for magnetosensitivity is the appearance of rotational moments acting on the particles from the thermal field in the presence of an external magnetic field as a small factor.
