Particle aggregation in magnetic fluid layer in electric field

Abstract

The action of a DC electric field directed perpendicularly to an initially homogeneous magnetic fluid (MF) layer gives rise to a new, more concentrated phase, i.e. microdrop formations in the near-electrode layer at a threshold field. Despite of the thorough enough studies [2-8], the fundamental understanding of the structure formation and near-electrode layer properties is still the question of debate
