“The liquid and solid forms are a pale blue color and are strongly paramagnetic.”
“If the oligopolistic competition has power-law falloff and there is increased local competition among agents, then the model has a rich phase diagram with an antiferromagnetic checkerboard state, striped states and maze-like states with varying widths, and finally a paramagnetic state.”
“Other cool-sounding words: stereoselective, nitroxide, paramagnetic.”
“Likewise, if a sample of a ferromagnetic material is heated up, at a temperature above its Curie point, it converts into paramagnetic state where the strong order in its spin structure disintegrates and entropy increases, in agreement with the heat influx.”
