Tutorial: a beginner’s guide to interpreting magnetic susceptibility data with the Curie-Weiss law

Abstract

Magnetic susceptibility measurements are an integral technique used across chemistry, physics and materials science; however, while straightforward to perform, interpretation of the data is often not. Here, the authors provide a basic guide to help newcomers interpret magnetic susceptibility data outlining examples based around the Curie-Weiss law that are ideal for those wishing to learn the basics of this method.
