Curie-Weiss law

(ˈkjʊərɪˈwaɪs; -ˈvaɪs)

(General Physics) the principle that the magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is inversely proportional to the difference between its temperature and its Curie point

[C20: named after Pierre Curie and Pierre-Ernest Weiss (died 1940), French physicist]

It is well known that the susceptibility ([chi]) follows the Curie-Weiss law, [chi] = C/(T - [[theta].sub.P]), in the paramagnetic region, where C is the Curie constant and [[theta].sub.P] is the CurieWeiss temperature.
