Curie point

A transition temperature marking a change in the magnetic or ferroelectric properties of a substance, especially the change from ferromagnetism to paramagnetism. Also called Curie temperature.

[After Pierre Curie.]

Curie point, temperature

(Physics / General Physics) the temperature above which a ferromagnetic substance loses its ferromagnetism and becomes paramagnetic

[named after Pierre Curie (1859-1906), French physicist and chemist]

Curie point

The temperature at which a phase change in the magnetic or ferroelectric properties of a substance occurs, especially the change from ferromagnetism to paramagnetism that occurs with increasing temperature. Also called Curie temperature. See also magnetic reversal state of matter
