Sources and notes
- The primary record uses one explicitly named form of the simple substance per element; other allotropic forms and states of aggregation are shown in the row expansion and are never mixed with the primary data.
- Curie temperatures T_C and Néel temperatures T_N are shown for every element with a known transition — including those already above their ordering temperature at 25 °C. T_C and T_N are counted separately in the summary.
- Magnetic properties of compounds or isolated atoms are never transferred to the simple substance.
- Superconductivity is shown separately (with its own critical temperature, which is never presented as a Curie temperature).
- Volume magnetic susceptibility χ (SI, dimensionless) is given in the row expansion with its measurement conditions; for nonlinear responses (ferromagnets) it is not a universal constant.
