Optica, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain | | Abstract: | We used scattering dichroism to study the combined effects of viscous and magnetic forces on the dynamics of dipolar chains induced in magnetorheological suspensions under rotating magnetic fields. We found that the chains adjust their size to rotate synchronously with the field but with a constant phase lag. Two different behaviors for the dichroism (proportional to the total number of aggregated particles) and the phase lag are found below or above a critical frequency. We obtained a linear dependence of the critical frequency with the square of the magnetization and with the inverse of the viscosity. The Mason number (ratio of viscous to magnetic forces) governs the dynamics. Therefore there is a critical Mason number below which, the dichroism remains almost constant and above which, the rotation of the field prevents the particle aggregation process from taken place being this the mechanism responsible for the decrease of dichroism. Our experimental results have been corroborated with particle dynamics simulations showing good agreement. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0107070 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
