High-magnetic-field-induced solidification of diamagnetic Bi

The effect of a high magnetic field (up to 12 T) on the solidification of pure Bi has been investigated experimentally. The magnetic field raises the solidification temperature of pure Bi, and as the magnetic field intensity increases, there is a linear increase in the solidification temperature. A 12 T magnetic field raises the solidification temperature by about 6 K. A high-magnetic-field-induced solidification of the non-ferromagnetic substance has been realized experimentally by solidifying liquid Bi while increasing the magnetic field.
