magnetic thermometer

magnetic thermometer

A thermometer whose operation is based on Curie's law, which states that the magnetic susceptibility of noninteracting (that is, paramagnetic) dipole moments is inversely proportional to absolute temperature. Magnetic thermometers are typically used at temperatures below 1 K (−458°F). The magnetic moments in the thermometric material may be of either electronic or nuclear origin. Generally the magnetic thermometer must be calibrated at one (or more) reference temperatures.
