NUCLEAR AND MAGNETIC STRUCTURES OF NON-POLAR FERROFLUIDS BY SMALL-ANGLE NEUTRON SCATTERING

摘要

Small-angle scattering of non-polarized and polarized neutrons has proved to be a powerful technique for studying the features of nuclear and magnetic structures of ferrofluids at nanoscale. The paper presents our recent results on the application of the technique for comparative analysis of non-polar ferrofluids (d-cyclohexane) stabilized by different surfactants, which are oleic and myristic acids. Qualitative difference both in nuclear and magnetic structural organization is observed and discussed.
