چکیده
A second-order Taylor series expansion of the free energy functional provides analytical expressions for the magnetic field dependence of the free energy and of the magnetization of ferrofluids, here modeled by dipolar Yukawa interaction potentials. The corresponding hard core dipolar Yukawa reference fluid is studied within the framework of the mean spherical approximation. Our findings for the magnetic and phase equilibrium properties are in quantitative agreement with previously published and new Monte Carlo simulation data.

Magnetization of polydisperse colloidal ferrofluids: effect of magnetostriction.
We exploit magnetostriction in polydisperse ferrofluids in order to generate nonlinear responses and apply a thermodynamical method to derive the desired nonlinear magnetic susceptibility. For an ideal gas, this method has been demonstrated to be in excellent agreement with a statistical method. In the presence of a sinusoidal ac magnetic field, the magnetization of the polydisperse ferrofluid ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Ferrofluid Flow for Subsurface Environmental Engineering Applications
Ferrofluids are suspensions of magnetic particles of diameter approximately 10 nm stabilized by surfactants in carrier liquids. The large magnetic susceptibility of ferrofluids allows the mobilization of ferrofluid through permeable rock and soil by the application of strong external magnetic fields. We have developed simulation capabilities for both miscible and immiscible conceptualizations o...
متن کاملMagnetization of concentrated polydisperse ferrofluids: cluster expansion.
The equilibrium magnetization of concentrated ferrofluids described by a system of polydisperse dipolar hard spheres is calculated as a function of the internal magnetic field using the Born-Mayer or cluster expansion technique. This paper extends the results of Huke and Lücke [Phys. Rev. E 62, 6875 (2000)] obtained for monodisperse ferrofluids. The magnetization is given as a power series expa...
متن کاملMagnetization of ferrofluids with dipolar interactions: A born-mayer expansion
For ferrofluids that are described by a system of hard spheres interacting via dipolar forces we evaluate the magnetization as a function of the internal magnetic field with a Born-Mayer technique and an expansion in the dipolar coupling strength. Two different approximations are presented for the magnetization, considering different contributions to a series expansion in terms of the volume fr...
متن کاملNonlinear magnetic susceptibility of ferrofluids
In ferrofluids, external magnetic fields can produce a nonlinearity in the dependence of magnetic susceptibilities on the field strength, due to both normal saturation and abnormal saturation. We derive the nonlinear magnetic susceptibility by using a Langevin model. Then, we investigate the nonlinear ac responses of the magnetic susceptibility by means of a perturbation expansion method and an...
