| The Curie point is the temperature above which a terromagnetic substance exhibits paramagnetism. |
| This type of paramagnetism occurs for conduction electrons in a metal. |
| This paramagnetism is used to obtain fast, accurate oxygen measurements. |
| In 1930 Landau pointed out a new effect resulting from the quantization of free electrons in crystals the Landau diamagnetism, opposite to the spin paramagnetism earlier treated by Pauli. |
| The totally different character of paramagnetism and diamagnetism demonstrated by Curie was later explained theoretically by Paul Langevin. |
| Like diamagnetism, paramagnetism is weak and exists only in the presence of an applied field, but since the effect enhances the applied field, the sign of the paramagnetic susceptibility is always positive. |
