<i>In situ</i> investigation of temperature induced agglomeration in non-polar magnetic nanoparticle dispersions by small angle X-ray scattering
Christian Appel, Björn Kuttich, Tobias Kraus, Bernd Stühn
Abstract
Non-polar magnetic nanoparticles agglomerate upon cooling. The agglomeration is driven by either directed magnetic dipole interactions or isotropic van der Waals interactions depending on the size of the nanoparticle.
