Highlights

  • Magnetic dispersions of nanoparticles have applications in magnetic data storage devices such as magnetic tapes and disks

  • We have experimentally investigated the orientational ordering in a magnetic dispersion of cylindrically shaped γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles in cyclohexanone, using small angle neutron scattering in the presence of both shear flow and a magnetic field

  • These results show that the nanoparticles exhibit three different types of nematic order depending on the combination of the applied magnetic field and shear stress

Introduction

Magnetic dispersions of nanoparticles have applications in magnetic data storage devices such as magnetic tapes and disks. We have experimentally investigated the orientational ordering in a magnetic dispersion of cylindrically shaped γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles in cyclohexanone, using small angle neutron scattering in the presence of both shear flow and a magnetic field.
