Abstract

The influence of homogeneous correlations between the positions and orientations of ferroparticles on the effect of light birefringence in magnetic fluids has been studied. It has been demonstrated that, for typical magnetic fluids, the optical effects associated with the homogeneous correlations can be stronger than the effects caused by elongated primary aggregates formed at the stage of ferrofluid synthesis, as well as heterogeneous chains resulting from magnetic attraction between the largest particles of a magnetic fluid.
