The effect of anisotropy in the Dimer Model on Ferrofluids in One-Dimension. Dima Al-Safadi Advisor: Dr. Abdalla Obeidat Co-Advisor: Prof. Nabil Ayoub Contents Introduction Theory Randomized easy axis Fixed easy axis Special cases Discussion and Conclusion Introduction Magnetic anisotropy In the absence of the applied magnetic field, the magnetic moments of the particles tends to align themselves to the direction which makes the magnetoststic energy minimum, this direction is called the easy direction, briefly, magnetic anisotropy shows how the magnetic properties depend on the direction of measuring the magnetization. There are several types of anisotropy and the most common one is the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Magnetocrystalline anisotropy (crystal anisotropy) When single domain fine particles magnetized to saturation, the magnetization has an easy axis along which is prefer to stay. In this case, the total internal energy is minimum. Rotation of the magnetization vector away from an easy axis is possible only by applying an external magnetic field. Thus, the magnetic energy is direction-dependent, and this kind of energy is called magnetic anisotropy energy. It is also called magnetocrystalline anisotropy because it has the same symmetry as the crystal structure of the particle material.  one of the simplest expression of the magnetic anisotropy energy that is uniaxial in symmetry is What is the ferrofluids? Ferrofluid is a stable colloidal suspension consists of single-domain fine magnetic particles (ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles), of diameter (30-150) in a carrier liquid (such as water or kerosene). To prevent the agglomeration and enhance the stability of the suspension, a nonmagnetic surfactant layer (such as polymers) covers particles. Recently, the publications concerned with ferrofluids have increased because these materials have a wide uses in industry, medicine and agriculture Randomize easy axis on
