Curie-Weiss law

 

Curie-Weiss law

The Curie-Weiss law describes the susceptibility in the paramagnetic region above the Curie point:

where

Χ is the susceptibility
:C is a material-specific Curie constant
:T is absolute temperature, measured in kelvins
:Tc is the Curie temperature, measured in kelvins

The susceptibility has a singularity at T = Tc. At this temperature and below there exists a spontaneous magnetization.
