Magneto-optical and magneto-dielectric anisotropy effects in magnetic fluids

Abstract EN

An overview of the magneto-optical and magneto-dielectric effects in magnetic fluids is presented encompassing experimental results and different phenomenological models used to explain these effects.

The role of the different parameters on these effects, are discussed.

It is suggested that the field induced-mechanical anisotropy produced by agglomeration and chain formation in magnetic fluids is the main cause for these magnetooptical and magneto-dielectric effects in magnetic fluids.
