Undergrad Questions about Curie Temperature Characteristics

Click For Summary
The Curie temperature of ferromagnetic materials is primarily determined by the strong magnetic interactions between atoms and is generally considered a constant for a given material. However, external factors, such as a strong magnetic field, can influence the alignment of atomic spins, potentially raising the Curie temperature qualitatively. While environmental conditions have minimal impact, the presence of a strong magnetic field can enhance atomic order, affecting the material's magnetic properties. This interaction suggests that while the Curie temperature is stable, it can exhibit variations under specific conditions. Understanding these dynamics is essential for applications in magnetism and material science.

Is the curie temperature of a ferromagnetic material constant? Are there any factors that will raise it or lower it? For instance, what happens if my piece of iron is already in a strong magnetic field? Is the curie temperate higher, then?

I am a layman of magnetism. Curie temperature comes from strong magnetic interaction between atoms so the environment condition has less effects on it, I assume. However strong magnetic field in environment would help atoms to have orders and raise Curie temperature at least qualitatively.
 
Thread 'Unexpected irregular reflection signal from a high-finesse cavity'
I am observing an irregular, aperiodic noise pattern in the reflection signal of a high-finesse optical cavity (finesse ≈ 20,000). The cavity is normally operated using a standard Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking configuration, where an EOM provides phase modulation. The signals shown in the attached figures were recorded with the modulation turned off. Under these conditions, when scanning the laser frequency across a cavity resonance, I expected to observe a simple reflection dip. Instead...
