Hyperphysics - Magnetic properties of solids - Any conductor will show a strong diamagnetic effect in the presence of changing magnetic fields because circulating currents will be generated in the conductor to oppose the magnetic field changes. A superconductor will be a perfect diamagnet since there is no resistance to the forming of the current loops.  When an external magnetic field is applied to a material, these current loops will tend to align in such a way as to oppose the applied field. This may be viewed as an atomic version of Lenz's law: induced magnetic fields tend to oppose the change which created them. Materials in which this effect is the only magnetic response are called diamagnetic. All materials are inherently diamagnetic

An electron will be repulsed by a magnetic field gradient, since it is diamagnetic.

Phase, Group, and Signal Velocity

Incidentally, since we can contrive to make the "groups" propagate in either direction, it's not surprising that we can also make them stationary. Two identical waves propagating in opposite directions at the same speed are given by

Superimposing these two waves propagating (with synchronized nodes) in opposite directions yields a standing pure wave
