[PDF][PDF] Landau description of ferrofluid to ferronematic phase transition

H Pleiner, E Jarkova, HW Müller… - …, 2001 - mpip-mainz.mpg.de
A Landau-type free energy function is presented to describe the phase transitions from an
isotropic (superparamagnetic) ferrofluid to a ferromagnetic nematic liquid crystal either …

Hydrodynamics of nematic ferrofluids

E Jarkova, H Pleiner, HW Müller, A Fink… - The European Physical …, 2001 - Springer
We derive hydrodynamic equations for nematic ferrofluids (ferronematics) in the limit that the
magnetic degree of freedom has relaxed to its equilibrium value. We concentrate on novel …

Alternating magneto-birefringence of ionic ferrofluids in crossed fields

E Hasmonay, E Dubois, S Neveu, JC Bacri… - The European Physical …, 2001 - Springer
A dynamic probing of magnetic liquids is performed experimentally, using a static magnetic
field modulated by another smaller field, normal and alternating. The optical magneto …
