Abstract
The orbital diamagnetic susceptibility is calculated in monolayer and bilayer graphenes with band gap as well as in three-dimensional Dirac systems. It is demonstrated that the pseudo-spin degree of freedom such as valleys produces paramagnetic susceptibility in an equal manner as the real spin dominating over the Landau diamagnetism. The pseudo-spin paramagnetism explains the origin of a singular diamagnetism which is present only in the band-gap region and disappears rapidly inside the conduction and valence bands.
