“…Furthermore, unlike ordering media, one generally expects the diamagnetic alignment of extended nucleic acids to be negative (v zz \ 0) with the v zz direction being, on average, oriented perpendicular to the magnetic field noting that it is possible to have conformations that give rise to positive alignment (v zz [ 0). For magnetic field-induced alignment, the degree of alignment can be expressed in terms of the magnetic field strength (B 0 ), the v-tensor (in units of m 3 /molecule), and temperature (T), 15,16,24,25 …”
