QuoteEkim'1. Is there in fact a point of non-magnetism (which would actually be extremely weak paramagnetism since everything is either ferro or para) when GD passes from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic?

Yes.use a weak magnet to see it

QuoteEkim'2. If so, how long does GD remain non-magnetic?

Permanent above its curie

"Yes.use a weak magnet to see it"

The fact that you can see it with a weak magnet could also mean the paramagnetic state of GD is weaker than it's ferromagnetic state, therefore it falls off the weak magnet, but is in fact still paramagnetic and will be attracted to a neo.  This is what I think is happening.


"Permanent above its curie"

This is not true according to everything I have read.  It becomes paramagnetic, not non-magnetic.

Yes precisely.BUT ignore this for swing-experiments because there still is a giagantic temperature change in the gadi regardless of the neo.


'This is not true according to everything I have read.  It becomes paramagnetic, not non-magnetic.'

Yes but you won't get it to fall off a neo in direct contact.increase the distance from the neo by a seperator-block of wood and then it will fall off the neo

I need a laser thermometer so I can see the GD changing temp in response to a magnetic field.

Spacing the neo would have the same effect as a weaker magnet.
I have not observed any state of non-magnetism in GD so far.
If there is one, it's miniscule and will be very hard to exploit.
I think GD is either ferromagnetic or paramagnetic at all times.

I'm starting to be suspicious of that video with the GD rotor.

Lol nooo no sir.let's trust the encyclopedias and meantime I'm going to figure out a easy chemical test that you can do to see if that is really gadolinium that arrived in the post.
