Rv. Upadhyay et al., PARTICLE-SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF A LABORATORY-SYNTHESIZED MAGNETIC FLUID, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 123(3), 1993, pp. 262-266
The magnetization, small-angle neutron scattering and viscosity of a m
agnetic fluid developed in the laboratory are measured. Using the log-
normal distributions, size distribution curves are generated from the
magnetization and SANS data. The effect of polydispersity on the visco
sity is discussed. It is shown that viscosity is sensitive to the peak
size diameter.
