WHAT DOES CURIE POINT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Curie temperature

In physics and materials science, the Curie temperature, or Curie point, is the temperature where a material's permanent magnetism changes to induced magnetism. The force of magnetism is determined by magnetic moments. The Curie temperature is the critical point where a material's intrinsic magnetic moments change direction. Magnetic moments are permanent dipole moments within the atom which originate from electrons' angular momentum and spin. Materials have different structures of intrinsic magnetic moments that depend on temperature. At a material's Curie Temperature those intrinsic magnetic moments change direction. Permanent magnetism is caused by the alignment of magnetic moments and induced magnetism is created when disordered magnetic moments are forced to align in an applied magnetic field. For example, the ordered magnetic moments change and become disordered at the Curie Temperature. Higher temperatures make magnets weaker as spontaneous magnetism only occurs below the Curie Temperature.

Definition of Curie point in the English dictionary

The definition of Curie point in the dictionary is the temperature above which a ferromagnetic substance loses its ferromagnetism and becomes paramagnetic.
