Static magneto optical birefringence of new Electric Double Layered Magnetic Fluids

Magnetic birefringence measurements are performed under a static field on Electric Double Layered Magnetic Fluids based on copper and zinc ferrite nanostructures. The optical birefringence is related to a single-particle effect and well described by a Langevin model which includes a log- normal distribution of particles. By the field-induced birefringence level, these new magnetic fluids are comparable to usual ones, a result which could offer a new way for biological applications.
