Popis:	We report studies on the dynamics of macroscopic particles in a low gravity “magnetic levitation” environment. Particle ensembles are held in a weak confining potential due to diamagnetic forces in a high-field resistive magnet. In such a case, the kinetic energy is not zero, and assemblies of particles undergo ergodic processes to find the lowest configurational ground state. Examples of such processes, as well as consideration of chaotic versus deterministic motion for single-particle orbits, will be presented.
