Linear Curie behavior fails gradually when the Zeeman energy of a substantial moment is comparable to thermal energy. Its appropriate scale isAt , . Thus : about for , or for a spin-one-half moment with . Larger moments saturate at smaller fields. The source does not specify numerical , so it determines this parametric scale rather than one universal room-temperature threshold. At sufficiently large field the moment tends toward and cannot keep increasing linearly with .
