  2. Curie's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie's_law

    Pierre Curie discovered this relation, now known as Curie's law, by fitting data from experiment. It only holds for high temperatures and weak magnetic fields. As the derivations below show, the magnetization saturates in the opposite limit of low temperatures and strong fields. If the Curie constant is null, other magnetic effects dominate ...

  3. Magnetochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetochemistry

    This is known as the Curie law and the proportionality constant, C, is known as the Curie constant, whose value, for molar susceptibility, is calculated as [11] = (+) where N is the Avogadro constant, g is the Landé g-factor, and μ B is the Bohr magneton.

  4. Curie temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature

    The Curie–Weiss law is a simple model derived from a mean-field approximation, this means it works well for the materials temperature, T, much greater than their corresponding Curie temperature, T C, i.e. T ≫ T C; it however fails to describe the magnetic susceptibility, χ, in the immediate vicinity of the Curie point because of ...

  5. Curie–Weiss law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie–Weiss_law

    where C is a material-specific Curie constant, T is the absolute temperature, and T C is the Curie temperature, both measured in kelvin. The law predicts a singularity in the susceptibility at T = T C. Below this temperature, the ferromagnet has a spontaneous magnetization. The name is given after Pierre Curie and Pierre Weiss.

  6. Pierre Curie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Curie

    Pierre Curie's grandfather, Paul Curie (1799–1853), a doctor of medicine, was a committed Malthusian humanist and married Augustine Hofer, daughter of Jean Hofer and great-granddaughter of Jean-Henri Dollfus, great industrialists from Mulhouse in the second half of the 18th century and the first part of the 19th century.

  7. Paramagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramagnetism

    is a material-specific Curie constant (K). Curie's law is valid under the commonly encountered conditions of low magnetization (μ B H ≲ k B T), but does not apply in the high-field/low-temperature regime where saturation of magnetization occurs (μ B H ≳ k B T) and magnetic dipoles are all aligned with the applied field. When the dipoles ...

  8. Curie (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_(unit)

    The curie (symbol Ci) is a non-SI unit of radioactivity originally defined in 1910. According to a notice in Nature at the time, it was to be named in honour of Pierre Curie , [ 1 ] but was considered at least by some to be in honour of Marie Curie as well, [ 2 ] and is in later literature considered to be named for both.

  9. Partition function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_function...

    This provides us with a method for calculating the expected values of many microscopic quantities. We add the quantity artificially to the microstate energies (or, in the language of quantum mechanics, to the Hamiltonian), calculate the new partition function and expected value, and then set λ to zero in the final
