Landau Diamagnetism in a Dissipative and Confined System

Starting from a quantum Langevin equation of a charged particle in a magnetic field we present a fully dynamical calculation of the orbital diamagnetism, from which the effect of dissipation on Landau diamagnetism can be assessed. The treatment throws light on subtle issues of confined boundaries and the approach to equilibrium of a quantum dissipative system. Additional results are presented for the diamagnetism in a confined parabolic potential.
