Which outcome occurs when thermal energy disrupts the antiferromagnetic ordering in a chromium crystal lattice?

A)Increased magnetic susceptibility above Néel point
B)Decreased electrical resistivity at Curie point
C)Enhanced specific heat near Debye temperature
D)Superconductivity transition at critical temperature

💡 Explanation

Increased magnetic susceptibility appears because the domain alignment weakens at and above the Néel point, meaning less complete cancellation, due to thermal agitation disrupting antiferromagnetic ordering, via the Curie-Weiss law; therefore susceptibility rises, rather than resistivity decreases or specific heat changes.
