Magnetic transitions compensation points

Theoretical studies of the phase transitions, magnetization, susceptibility and compensation points have been carried out by Camley (1989), Camley and Tilley (1988), and LePage and Camley (1990). The results are discussed in terms of equilibrium... 

In this section, I briefly survey the different kinds of magnetic and related transitions that should or may be affected by particle size and shape. Transitions occur at special compensation or cooperative build-up points (critical temperatures, fields, compositions, or pressures, and at multi-critical points) where several factors conspire to give an abrupt change in physical state of the system. As such, it is expected that transitions will be particularly sensitive to particle size, not to mention intra-particle and surface conditions.
