the temperature at which a sudden change of physical properties occurs, such as a change of phase or crystalline structure, or at which a substance becomes superconducting
transition temperature in American English
noun
Physics
a temperature at which a substance undergoes some abrupt change in its properties, as when it passes from the normal to the superconducting state
Also called: transition point
