Chemical abundances in the solar corona or solar wind compared to those in the photosphere differentiate according to first ionization potential (FIP). We suggest that the effect is the result of diamagnetic diffusion pumps operating in the presence of gravitation and diverging magnetic structures. We then comment briefly on implications concerning abundances in the solar system and chemically peculiar stars.
