The zero-curtain effect occurs in cold (particularly periglacial) environments where the phase transition of water to ice is slowed due to latent heat release. The effect is notably found in arctic and alpine permafrost sediments, and occurs where the air temperature falls below 0°C (the freezing point of water) followed by a rapid drop in ...
The Fermi temperature is defined as this maximum energy divided by the Boltzmann constant, and is on the order of 80,000 K for typical electron densities found in metals. For temperatures significantly below the Fermi temperature, the electrons behave in almost the same way as at absolute zero.
Negative temperatures can only exist in a system where there are a limited number of energy states (see below). As the temperature is increased on such a system, particles move into higher and higher energy states, so that the number of particles in the lower energy states and in the higher energy states approaches equality.

Bismarck, North Dakota, plunged to 39 degrees below zero Tuesday, their coldest temperature since Jan. 15, 2009 and only 6 degrees shy of their all-time record low.
Officials in Mississippi’s capital city of Jackson were preparing for days of freezing weather after cold snaps in 2021 and 2022 caused pipes to burst and water pressure to drop across the city ...
The temperature in portions of the Yakutia region of eastern Russia, where Yakutsk is located, dropped below 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (40 degrees below zero Celsius) during the middle of ...
In the southern part of Finland, -15 °C (5 °F) is considered the limit of severe frost. The thermometer in the picture shows -17 °C (1.4 °F). The English word "frost" has 2 base meanings that are related to each other but nevertheless sufficiently different: temperature of air below the freezing point of water (ca 273 K)
'Warmed up to 24 below zero' In Minot, North Dakota, city spokeswoman Jen Kleen her car's temperature gauge said it was minus 32 degrees while she was driving to work on Tuesday morning.
