Definition
minimum temperature below which a magnetic material is ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic and above which it is paramagnetic
Definition source
IEC 60050 (901.01.21) (1973)
Note
The change of state is not perfectly sharp, so the above definition may not give a value sufficiently defined for practical purposes. To get a more definite value, the graph of the square of the specific saturation magnetisation (i.e. sigma**2}) as a function of temperature should be extrapolated to sigma**2} = 0. The Curie point may then be taken as the point where this extrapolation meets the temperature axis.
