Influence of the Magnetic Field on Photoinduced Thermocapillary Deformation of the Surface of a Magnetic Fluid Layer

Abstract

Features of the photothermocapillary effect in magnetic colloids were studied. The effect of the magnetic field on the photothermocapillary effect in such media was investigated, and the features of changing the size and shape of the thermocapillary response were identified, depending on the dimensional parameters of the cell with the sample. A conclusion was made about the possibility of successful control of the effect using a magnetic field.
