Weiss theory [′ves ‚thē·ə·rē]

(solid-state physics)

A theory of ferromagnetism based on the hypotheses that below the Curie point a ferromagnetic substance is composed of small, spontaneously magnetized regions called domains, and that each domain is spontaneously magnetized because a strong molecular magnetic field tends to align the individual atomic magnetic moments within the domain. Also known as molecular field theory.
