Generally, antiferromagnetic materials exhibit antiferromagnetism at a low temperature, and become disordered above a certain temperature; the transition temperature is called the Neel temperature.
Above the Neel temperature, the material is typically paramagnetic.
The Neel temperature, TN, is the temperature at which an antiferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic - that is, the thermal energy becomes large enough to upset the magnetic ordering within the material.

 Simultaneous fixation of the magnetization direction in a dual GMR sensor's pinned layers - Patent 6181533
In the situation where the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer of the first spin valve is substantially greater than the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer of the second spin valve, the dual GMR sensor is heated to a temperature greater than the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer of the first spin valve.
In the case where the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer of the second spin valve is greater than the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer of the first spin valve, the dual GMR sensor is first heated to a temperature greater than the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer of the second spin valve.
The second magnetic field is then applied while the temperature ofthe dual GMR sensor is reduced to a temperature lower than the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer of the second spin valve, yet greater than the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic layer of the first spin valve.

 Introduction to Magnetochemistry
The temperature at which paramagnetic behavior is seen called the Curie temperature for ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials and called the Neel temperature for antiferromagnetic materials.
The source of variation of magnetic properties with temperature is the disruption of the alignment of molecular magnetic moments due to the thermal motion of the atoms.
This is done by plotting X(T)/X(Tn) vs T/Tn where X(T) is the magnetic susceptibility at a given temperature, X(Tn) is the magnetic susceptibility at the Neel temperature, T is the temperature and Tn is the Neel temperature.

 [No title]
The accompanying graph illustrates the change of Js with temperature of each class of grain, A, B and C. The Curie points of the A- and S-grains are almost 530 C. and 230 C, respectively, and the Jt-T curve for (7-grains is similar to the resultant of the superposition of that of A and J5.
Experiment shows that the thermo-remanent magnetization of both A- and B-grains has the normal direction, being parallel to the applied magnetic field, at atmospheric temperature, while that of the AB-gmins in the same condition is the reverse.
The plausibility of the latter argument may be verified by comparing the steep temperature gradient of Js in the case of the B-constituent with the small gradient of the.-constituent, shown in the graph.

 Louis Eugène Félix Néel Summary
When the temperature of antiferromagnetic substances is raised, the spontaneous magnetization slightly deforms the antiparallel arrangement of the two sets of atoms, leaving one set slightly stronger than the other, previously equal, set.
There are two classes of creep, one due to temperature changes and the other due to the redistribution of atoms in the crystal that accompanies spontaneous magnetization.
Louis Eugène Félix Néel (November 22, 1904 – November 17, 2000), a French physicist born in Lyon, was corecipient (with the Swedish astrophysicist Hannes Alfvén) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1970 for his pioneering studies of the magnetic properties of solids.

 Paramagnetism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If there is sufficient exchanergy between neighbouring dipoles they will interact, and may spontaneously align or anti-align and form magnetic domains, resulting in ferromagnetism (permanent magnets) or antiferromagnetism, respectively.
This law indicates that the susceptibiliy of paramagnetic materials is inversely proportional to their temperature.
However, Curie's law is only valid under conditions of low magnetisation, since it does not consider the saturation of magnetisation that occurs when the atomic dipoles are all aligned in parallel (after everything is aligned, increasing the external field will not increase the total magnetisation since there can be no further alignment).

 Transdomain Remanent Magnetizations
At very high temperatures (i.e., close to the Neel or Curie temperature), the conventional picture of domains breaks down because the various anisotropy energies, such as magnetocrystalline and magnetostriction anisotropy, become insignificant compared to the exchange energy [e.g., Moskowitz, 1993].
Even closer to the Neel temperature, the thermal fluctuations cause the magnetic spins to form clusters.
Regardless of whether the details of this method are supported by future work, they point out that if thermal fluctuations close to the Neel temperature are responsible for the wide range of observed LEM states, then there may be important consequences for paleomagnetism.

Normally, coupling forces in magnetic materials cause the magnetic moments of neighboring atoms to align, resulting in very large internal magnetic field s.
The energy required to change the direction of magnetization of a crystallite is called the Crystalline anisotropy energy and depends both on the material properties and the crystallite size.
As the crystallite size decreases, so does the Crystalline anisotropy energy, resulting in a decrease in the temperature at which the material becomes superparamagnetic.

Generally, antiferromagnetic materials exhibit antiferromagnetism at a low temperature, and become disordered above a certain temperature; the transition temperature is called the Néel temperature.
The antiferromagnetic behaviour at low temperature usually results in diamagnetic properties, but can sometimes display ferrimagnetic behaviour, which in many physically observable properties is more similar to ferromagnetic interactions.
The magnetic susceptibility of an antiferromagnetic material will appear to go through a maximum as the temperature is lowered; in contrast, that of a paramagnet will continually increase with decreasing temperature.

 Introduction to Magnetochemistry
The advantage of using effective magnetic moments for describing paramagnetic behavior is that it is a measure of the materials magnetic behavior which is not dependent upon either the temperature or the magnitude of the external field.
As temperature increases, the magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance decreases.
This is done by plotting M(T)/M(0) vs T/Tc where M(T) is the magnetization at a given temperature, M(0) is the magnetization at absolute zero, T is the temperature and Tc is the Curie temperature.
