Curie ’ s Truism
نویسنده
چکیده
Curie’s principle asserts that every symmetry of a cause manifests as a symmetry of the effect. It can be formulated as a tautology that is vacuous until it is instantiated. However instantiation requires us to know the correct way to map causal terminology onto the terms of a science. Causal metaphysics has failed to provide a unique, correct way to carry out the mapping. Thus successful or unsuccessful instantiation merely reflects our freedom of choice in the mapping.

Reconnaissance exploration of potential geothermal sites in Kerman province, using Curie depth calculations
In this paper an indirect method is presented to detect potential geothermal sites in Kerman province, southeast Iran. Geothermal heat flux is one of the main parameters to be investigated in geothermal exploration programs. However, few direct heat flux measurements are available for Iran. Given the proved relation between Curie depths and heat flux, magnetic data can be used to calculate the ...

In this paper, ferroelectric thin films, described by an ising model in a transverse field, have been studied under the mean-field approximation. We discuss a thin film composed of N-layer film of simple cubic symmetry with nearest-neighbor exchange in which the exchange strength and transverse field are assumed to be different from the bulk values in Ns surface layers, and we derive and illust...
متن کاملStudies on the weak itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO 3 under high pressure to 34 GPa
The dependence of the Curie temperature T Curie on nearly hydrostatic pressure has been determined to 17 GPa for the weak itinerant ferromagnetic SrRuO 3 in both polycrystalline and single-crystalline form. T Curie is found to decrease under pressure from 162 K to 42.7 K at 17.2 GPa in nearly linear fashion at the rate dT Curie /dP ≃ −6.8 K/GPa. No superconductivity was found above 4 K in the p...

We estimate, using high-temperature series expansions, the transition temperatures of the spin 1 2 , 1 and 3 2 Heisenberg ferromagnet and antiferromagnet in 3dimensions. The manner in which the difference between Curie and Néel temperatures vanishes with increasing spin quantum number is investigated. Curie and Néel Temperatures of Quantum Magnets 2 It is well known that in classical spin model...
متن کاملCurie Temperatures for Binary Ising Ferromagnets on the Square Lattice
High-accuracy Swendsen and Wang Monte Carlo simulations were performed to study the Curie temperature of ferromagnetic, binary Ising systems on the square lattice. Our results are compared with mean-field like approaches. Based on these former theories, we give a new formula to estimate the Curie temperature of the system. PACS number(s): 75.10H; 75.20E; 75.40M
