Title: Permittivity of a magnetic fluid

Journal Article · · Magnetohydrodynamics (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6937746

The authors mathematically investigate the statics and dynamics of the orientational polarization of a magnetic liquid subjected to the combined action of electric and magnetic fields. As the liquid model an ensemble of noninteracting magnetized ellipsoids made of ferrite distributed over the volume of a nonconducting liquid matrix was used. The ferrite particles forming the suspension were assumed to be single-domain and magnetically hard particles in the frozen moments approximation. Magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments are determined as is the permittivity tensor which, in stationary electric and magnetic fields, becomes biaxial. In a variable electric field the permittivity becomes an explicit function of time and frequency.
