Grant,
in reply to Deacon's point that:

"3) Your "paper" shows your usual misunderstanding of physics. One minor example: "Currie temperature" applies ONLY to solids, but "I am astrophysics" Grant thinks(???) that it applies to plasmas!"

you posted a link to Wikipedia on ferromagnetism, along with a quote from it. As it turns out, a little further reading of that page, and in particular, the link to the page on ferromagnetic materials, confirms Deacon's point, specifically:

All ferromagnetic materials are crystalline (ie solid) or in rare cases amorphous alloys (solid). There are no instances of anything non-solid being ferromagnetic.

As it happens, I also have a rather good book on the subject in front of me: "Electricity and Magnetism" third edition, B. I. Bleaney and B. Bleaney. It's an undergraduate engineering text. Here's a quote from chapter 6, page 171:

"Ferromagnetic substances are all solids, and each is characterised by a certain temperature known as the Curie point at which its properties change abruptly."

Regards
Krill
