Equation for the volume magnetic susceptibility of moist air

Abstract: The volume magnetic susceptibility of moist air χm(ma) is needed to correct the results of certain experiments to vacuum conditions. This paper derives an appropriate equation for χm(ma) for which pressure, temperature, relative humidity, and carbon dioxide content are variable parameters. The derived equation also depends sensitively on the molar susceptibility of oxygen, for which the handbook values are inconsistent by about 1.4%. The equation resolves this discrepancy in part.

“…The volume susceptibility of dry air is ≈ 3.7 × 10 −7 [19] at 1013 hPa, to increase n by ≈ 1.3×10 −7 . The magnetic dipole transitions of Oxygen [10,38] are incorporated in the HITRAN list [13], which allows us to add dispersion to their response.…”

“…(Since we are only dealing with the limit of small susceptibilities, the electric and magnetic susceptibilities are additive, which means cross product terms have been neglected here.) The magnetism of water is negligible because the magnetic moment of the water molecule is close to the magnetic moment of the Nitrogen molecule [15,19], but the abundance of the water molecules in air much smaller than the abundance of Nitrogen molecules.…”

“…The volume susceptibility change of the air is mainly due to its expansion with increasing temperature (at constant pressure, ∼1/T dependence) as well as the fact that oxygen paramagnetism obeys the Curie law (∼1/T dependence) and therefore has an approximate 1/T 2 dependence [15]. The effect of air temperature change on MR thermometry is subtle and, in most cases, will not lead to deviations of more than a few Kelvin.…”

“…Air/gas volume susceptibilities as a function of pressure, temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen content were determined using the formulae systematically derived by Davis [15]. The experimental conditions on the different days of the experiments were as follows: ambient air pressure from 1010 to 1021 hPa, room temperature from 21 to 23 • C and relative humidity from 48 to 53%, Calculated volume susceptibilities of the gases used in the various experiments for an ambient air pressure of 1015 hPa, room temperature of 22 • C and relative humidity of 50% [15] all determined using standard equipment.…”
