Curie temperature

Curie temperature is the point at which certain magnetic materials lose their magnetic properties and become paramagnetic. Below this temperature, the material's atomic magnets align with each other, giving it a strong magnetic field. As the temperature rises to the Curie point, thermal energy disrupts this alignment, and the material can no longer maintain its magnetization. This phenomenon is named after Pierre Curie, who studied magnetism. Understanding Curie temperature is important in fields like materials science and engineering, especially in the design of magnetic devices and components.
