Curie Temperature (Noun)

Meaning

The temperature above which a ferromagnetic substance loses its ferromagnetism and becomes paramagnetic.

Classification

Nouns denoting attributes of people and objects.

Examples

  • The curie temperature of iron is around 770°C, above which it loses its magnetic properties.
  • The curie temperature is a critical point that marks the transition from ferromagnetism to paramagnetism in a material.
  • Nickel has a curie temperature of approximately 358°C, which is relatively low compared to other ferromagnetic materials.
  • The curie temperature of a substance can be affected by factors such as pressure, composition, and crystal structure.
  • Above the curie temperature, the magnetic moments of the atoms in a ferromagnetic substance become randomly aligned, resulting in a loss of magnetization.

Synonyms

  • Curie Point
