Gn. Coverdale et al., A MOLECULAR DYNAMIC-MODEL OF THE MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF STRONGLY INTERACTING COLLOIDAL DISPERSIONS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 34(2), 1998, pp. 378-380
A molecular dynamic model of the properties of a strongly interacting
particulate dispersion is described. The particles concerned are assum
ed to be acicular and the model is applied to the study of the propert
ies of a dispersion of advanced metal particles for recording media. T
he model is applied to predictions of the magnetic behaviour of disper
sions under shear, providing a basis for the understanding of shear ma
gnetometry, The hydrodynamics of the dispersion are shown to be import
ant as regards the microstructure of the final coated recording medium
.
