RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Kudelcik, Jozef A1 Kudelcikova, Maria T1 Magnetic Fluids and their Applications JF Communications - Scientific Letters of the University of Zilina YR 2018 VO 20 IS 11 SP 137 OP 143 DO 10.26552/com.C.2018.1A.137-143 UL https://komunikacie.uniza.sk/artkey/csl-201811-0021.php AB Magnetic fluids contain magnetic nanoparticles which are dispersed in water or various types of oils. Magnetic nanoparticles are monodomain and their magnetic moments are oriented in the direction of the magnetic field. They interact with each other and create new structures, which depend on parameters of magnetic nanoparticles, temperature, values, and development of magnetic and electric fields. This paper describes two basic methods of investigation of magnetic fluids in magnetic and electric fields by the acoustic and the dielectric spectroscopy. Magnetic fluids have wide application in technology, medicine and other areas
