A regime in which particle-scale magnetic moments reverse thermally on the observation timescale, giving little quasistatic remanence despite internally ordered single-domain particles. Being single-domain is not sufficient: anisotropy barriers and measurement time determine whether reversal is rapid. A finite-frequency drive can still produce relaxation losses.
For motion perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, the Lorentz force gives . An ultrarelativistic massive particle has , hence . Total energy and kinetic energy differ by the rest energy.
The Curie constant is the coefficient in Curie's law for an appropriate dilute or high-temperature paramagnet. It sets the strength of the weak-field magnetic susceptibility, rather than an ordering temperature. In an SI volume-susceptibility convention for number density of identical noninteracting moments,Here is the effective magnetic moment and the vacuum permeability. A mole-based susceptibility uses a correspondingly mole-based constant.
Plotting magnetic susceptibility against inverse temperature can estimate in the linear weak-field regime. Exchange interactions or thermal occupation of additional levels can change the dependence, so a fitted is meaningful only with its range and normalization stated. The factor reflects orientational averaging in the isotropic moment model; an anisotropic response requires more information than one scalar constant.
Mean-field magnetic-susceptibility amplitude ratio by

For a scalar quartic Landau free energy with and positive quartic coefficient, the zero-field susceptibility is above the transition and within a selected ordered phase below it. Their singular amplitudes have ratio two. Below the transition this is a one-sided pure-phase response: the globally minimizing magnetization jumps between opposite phases when the field crosses zero. The mean-field ratio is not asserted to be exact in every fluctuation-dominated system.

In a gauge with potentials independent of y, the canonical momentum commutes with the Hamiltonian. A simultaneous eigenbasis can be chosen as , with . Periodic length gives . The kinetic y-momentum is instead and is not spatially constant. Confusing these two momenta loses the magnetic contribution to the velocity.

For , let . Expansion of the magnetic-gradient quartic confinement at either minimum gives . The local oscillator frequency is therefore . Both lowest parity states have leading energy if greatly exceeds the oscillator width. Local anharmonicity changes their common energy, while quantum tunnelling gives their much smaller splitting.
In vacuum or an approximately nonmagnetizable plasma, the field energy per volume is . magnetic pressure has the same scale, but a magnetic field also exerts directional tension, so its stress is not universally an isotropic pressure. Material magnetization can require a different constitutive treatment.
Luminosity-distance ordering of flat dust-vacuum universes by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-10-24
At fixed positive redshift, intrinsic luminosity and present Hubble constant, a flat dust-vacuum model with has luminosity distance between those of an Einstein-de Sitter universe and pure positive vacuum. The Hubble parameter of the dust-only model is largest at every positive integration redshift; that of pure vacuum is smallest. Therefore is smallest for dust alone and largest for pure vacuum. Received radiative flux has the reverse ordering. This compares physical distances rather than arbitrarily normalized comoving coordinates.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
