The Bohr-van Leeuwen Theory

1911

While Neil Bohr was writing his dissertation for his doctorate in 1911 he discovered that a classical free electron gas in thermal equilibrium could display no magnetic effects, Bohr's discovery was the basis for the Bohr-van Leeuwen Theorem, which stated, "In a constant magnetic field and in thermal equilibrium, the magnetization of an electron gas in the classical Drude-Lorentz (DL) model is identically zero." His theorem helped the understanding of magnetism and was helpful in plasma physics.
