is this named after Marie Curie?

Curie temperature is named after Pierre Curie, Marie's husband, Jan 8, 2003

[edit] Curie Points

What are the transition curves of different ferrous materials?

why steel losses its ferromagnetic properties at curie temperature

So increasing the temperature causes material to lose it's magnetism. In case of Neo dymium magnets, can this magnetic field be regained by electromagnetism? (eg by putting the magnet in another stronger magnetic field?)

[edit] Temperature and Curie

If a magnet loses it's magnetic field due to heat, then there must be a temperature where the magnet works at it's best, as well as information on how a magnet interacts in near to 0°Kelvin (absolute zero or -274°C). Can someone extend on this?

[edit] Curie point depends on temperature

The Curie point is dependent on pressure and is hard to predict for very high pressures. In particular, it is not possible to say for sure whether the core of the Earth is above the Curie point even though it is very hot. There is a little bit of information on this in the book "The Magnetic Field of the Earth" by Ronald T. Merrill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.174.6.108 (talk) 22:07, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
