The Determination of Curie Point of Bulk Gadolinium

In this short note, we report the result of measurement for the ferro- to paramagnetic phase transition temperature, that is Curie point of bulk gadolinium. This note is written to give the solid validity for the previous measurement of Curie point shift of gadolinium film (1. Rhee, E. Lee and S. Lee, Kor. J. of Mat. Research,3, 3, 1993). The Curie point of bulk gadolinium is determined by measuring the resistance of sample as function of temperatures. At Curie point, we can observe the resistivity anomaly which arises due to the heat capacity difference between below and above Curie point. Finally, the curie point of bulk gadolinium is found to be 19.20..
