Ferrohydrodynamical fundamentals of ferrofluid Bitter pattern evolution

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The theory of ferrohydrodynamics describes the specific physical properties associated with a magnetizable fluid. From this theory a constitutive equation was derived, which characterizes the stray-field-induced formation of ferrofluid Bitter patterns on the surface of a ferromagnetic specimen.
