Abstract

Considers the magnetic response of a charged Brownian particle undergoing a stochastic birth-death process. The latter simulates the electron-hole pair production and recombination in semiconductors. The authors obtain non-zero, orbital diamagnetism which can be large without violating the Van Leeuwen theorem (1921).
