has definition This is sometimes used for indicating temperature in the vicinity of absolute zero. It is based on Curie's law, which states that the susceptibility of a paramagnetic material is approximately proportional to its absolute temperature.has source: Jerrard, H.G., McNeill, D.B. 1992 Dictionary of Scientific Units, Chapman and Hall, 2001-09-27 09:32:43.0
