摘要: The structure of a ferrofluid under the influence an external magnetic field is expected to become anisotropic due alignment dipoles into direction field, and subsequently formation particle chains attractive head tail orientations particles. Knowledge about colloidal can be inferred from scattering data via measurement factors. We have used molecular-dynamics simulations investigate both monodispersed polydispersed ferrofluids. results for isotropic factor samples are similar previous by Camp Patey that were obtained using alternative Monte Carlo simulation technique, but in different parameter region. Here we look addition at bidispersed compute projecting q vector onto XY XZ planes separately, when was applied along z axis. observe XY-plane as well pair distribution functions quite those plane. Further, two-dimensional patterns investigated conditions. In addition, scaling exponents Our should value interpret on ferrofluids field.
