Vt. Peikov et Am. Lane, CHARACTERIZATION OF CONCENTRATED MAGNETIC COLLOIDS BY MEASUREMENTS OFFREQUENCY-DEPENDENCE OF AC MAGNETIC-SUSCEPTIBILITY, Journal of colloid and interface science (Print), 206(1), 1998, pp. 350-353
The AC magnetic susceptibility frequency dependence in the range 10 Hz
-10 kHz is used to study concentrated magnetic colloids. Different the
oretical and empirical models are used to describe the frequency depen
dence. The magnetic analogue of the Cole-Cole model is found to be mos
t suitable. Values of the model fitting parameters and the relaxation
time distribution provide information about the dispersability, viscoe
lastic properties, and interparticle interactions in the magnetic coll
oids. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
