Curie-Weiss law

The Curie-Weiss law describes the susceptibility in the paramagnetic region above the Curie point:

<math> \Chi = \frac{C}{T – T_{c}} <math>

where

Χ is the susceptibility
C is a material-specific Curie constant
T is absolute temperature, measured in kelvins
Tc</sup> is the Curie temperature, measured in kelvins

The susceptibility has a singularity at T = Tc. At this temperature and below there exists a spontaneous magnetization.
