At very low temperatures, the solid's atomic magnets maintain their antiparallel ordering and do not respond to an external magnetic field. As temperature increases, some atoms break from the orderly arrangement and align with the external field, producing weak magnetism in the solid. This alignment and weak magnetism peak at the Néel temperature, above which increasing thermal energy prevents atomic alignment with the field, so the solid's magnetism decreases continuously with higher temperatures.

At very low temperatures, the solid exhibits no response to the external
field, because the antiparallel ordering of atomic magnets is rigidly maintained. At higher temperatures, some atoms break free of the orderly arrangement and align with the external field. This alignment and the weak magnetism it produces in the solid reach their peak at the Néel temperature. Above this temperature, thermal agitation progressively prevents alignment of the atoms with the magnetic field, so that the weak magnetism produced in the solid by the alignment of its atoms continuously decreases as temperature is increased.
