Abstract

Summary form only given. A hydrocarbon-based magnetic fluid (MF) containing core magnetite nanoparticles, surface-coated by a double-layer of dodecanoic acid, is investigated in the range of 10/sup 17/ to 10/sup 13/ particle/cm/sup 3/, using an X-band CW spectrometer. The data are discussed in terms of the reduction of the particle-particle interaction upon dilution of a stock MF sample. The feature observed around 2.2 kgauss is likely due to a nanoparticle chain-like structure, but was washed away upon dilution.
