In this study, we investigated the effects of strong magnetic fields of up to 14 T on the thermal agitation of water and ethanol. We measured the Raman spectrum and Rayleigh scattering of water-ethanol system. The Raman spectra of water-ethanol system in the range of 450-700 nm were not affected by 8 T magnetic field. However, the Rayleigh scattering intensity decreased significantly during 8 T magnetic field exposures. We also investigated the near-infrared spectrum of water. The peak wavelength shifted from 1930 nm to 1932-1933 nm under a 14 T magnetic field. There is a possibility that the formation of hydrogen bonds is enhanced and the thermal agitation of water molecules decreased under strong magnetic fields of up to 14 T.
