Abstract

Measurement of the magnetic complex susceptibility, χ( ω)= χ′( ω)−i χ″( ω) by means of the transmission line technique, is a well established method for the determination of the dynamic properties of nano-particle colloids, such as magnetic fluids. From polarising studies one can obtain accurate data on the anisotropy constant, K, anisotropy field, H A, gyromagnetic constant γ, and the damping parameter, α. From data on χ( ω), one can determine the loss tangent, tan δ, of the samples and also a value of the precessional decay time, τ 0. From polarized studies, one can investigate the presence of any hysteresis. The technique is also suitable for the investigation of the magnetic properties of composite samples. In this paper a review of the above mentioned topics are presented with examples of results obtained for a number of magnetic fluids.
