A graph showing the magnetization of a paramagnetic substance approaching saturation along a Brillouin curve, with separate data series for temperatures 1.30 K, 2.00 K, 3.00 K, and 4.21 K. The y-axis shows Bohr magnetons per ion, and the x-axis shows B/T in teslas per degree. Three curves labeled I, II, and III demonstrate higher saturation at lower temperatures.
