Prediction of the strains caused by magnetostatic Maxwell stresses at the surface of a para- or diamagnetic crystal

Abstract

Quantitative expressions for the strains caused by magnetostatic Maxwell stresses at the surface of a para- or diamagnetic crystal in a homogeneous magnetic field are given in terms of material constants and the magnetic field strength. The analysis is restricted to the longitudinal and transversal effect. The results obtained hold for any crystal symmetry and orientation.
