critical temperature

1. The temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied.

2. The temperature at which a material becomes a superconductor.

critical temperature

(Physics / General Physics) the temperature of a substance in its critical state. A gas can only be liquefied by pressure alone at temperatures below its critical temperature

critical temperature

1. The temperature of a substance at its critical point.

2. The temperature at which a material becomes a superconductor.

3. The temperature at which a property of a material, such as its magnetism, changes.
