Curie temperature For a ferromagnetic substance the variation of susceptibility, c with temperature, above the ferromagnetic Curie temperature, Q is given by,
c
= C/(T- Q )where C is the Curie constant, and T the absolute temperature. Q is called the Curie temperature. When T approaches Q the susceptibility goes to infinity. This means that the substance possesses spontaneous magnetization even without the presence of external magnetic field. Above the Curie temperature the substance behaves like paramagnetic material.
