The suspended ferromagnetic particles subjected to the gradient and uniform magnetic fields experience both the translational force generated by the field gradient and the rotational torque generated by the fields strengths. Although the uniform field does not contribute to the force, it nevertheless influences the translational motion of these particles. This occurs because the translational force depends on the direction of the particle magnetization, which in turn depends on the fields strengths. To study this influence, a minimal set of equations describing the coupled translational and rotational motions of nanosized ferromagnetic particles is introduced and solved in the low Reynolds number approximation. Trajectory analysis reveals that, depending on the initial positions of nanoparticles, there exist four regimes of their directed transport. The intervals of initial positions that correspond to different dynamical regimes are determined, their dependence on the uniform magnetic field is established, and strong impact of this field on the directed transport is demonstrated. The ability and efficiency of the uniform magnetic field to control the separation of suspended ferromagnetic nanoparticles is also discussed.

We report the precessional rotation of magnetically isotropic ferromagnetic nanoparticles in a viscous liquid that are subjected to a rotating magnetic field. In contrast to magnetically anisotropic nanoparticles, the rotation of which occurs due to coupling between the magnetic and lattice subsystems through magnetocrystalline anisotropy, the rotation of isotropic nanoparticles is induced only by magnetic dissipation processes. We propose a theory of this phenomenon based on a set of equations describing the deterministic magnetic and rotational dynamics of such particles. Neglecting inertial effects, we solve these equations analytically, find the magnetization and particle precessions in the steady state, determine the components of the particle angular velocity and analyze their dependence on the model parameters. The possibility of experimental observation of this phenomenon is also discussed.
We study theoretically the deterministic dynamics of single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles in dilute ferrofluids, which is induced by a time-varying gradient magnetic field. Using the force and torque balance equations, we derive a set of the first-order differential equations describing the translational and rotational motions of such particles characterized by small Reynolds numbers. Since the gradient magnetic field generates both the translations and rotations of particles, these motions are coupled. Based on the derived set of equations, we demonstrate this fact explicitly by expressing the particle position through the particle orientation angle, and vice versa. The obtained expressions are used to show that the solution of the basic set of equations is periodic in time and to determine the intervals, where the particle coordinate and orientation angle oscillate. In addition, this set of equations is solved approximately for the case of small characteristic frequency of the particle oscillations. With this condition, we find that all particles perform small translational oscillations near their initial positions. In contrast, the orientation angle oscillates near the initial angle only if particles are located in the vicinity of zero point of the gradient magnetic field. The possible applications of the obtained results in biomedicine and separation processes are also discussed.
Star polymers with magnetically functionalized end groups are presented as a novel polymeric system whose morphology, self-aggregation, and orientation can easily be tuned by exposing these macromolecules simultaneously to an external magnetic field and to shear forces. Our investigations are based on a specialized simulation technique which faithfully takes into account the hydrodynamic interactions of the surrounding, Newtonian solvent. We find that the combination of magnetic field (including both strength and direction) and shear rate controls the mean number of magnetic clusters, which in turn is largely responsible for the static and dynamic behavior. While some properties are similar to comparable non-magnetic star polymers, others exhibit novel phenomena; examples of the latter include the breakup and reorganization of the clusters beyond a critical shear rate, and a strong dependence of the efficiency with which shear rate is translated into whole-body rotations on the direction of the magnetic field.
We studied the acoustic properties of liquid oxygen up to 90 T by means of ultrasound measurements. We observed a monotonic decrease of the sound velocity and an asymptotic increase of the sound attenuation when applying magnetic fields. The unusual attenuation, twenty times as large as the zero-field value, suggests strong fluctuations of the local molecular arrangement. We point out that the observed fluctuations are related to a liquid-liquid transition or crossover, from a small-magnetization to a large-magnetization liquid, which is characterized by a local-structure rearrangement. To investigate higher-field properties of liquid oxygen, we performed single-turn-coil experiments up to 180 T by means of the acoustic, dilatometric, magnetic, and optical techniques. We observed only monotonic changes of these properties, reflecting the absence of the proposed liquid-liquid transition in our experimental conditions.
We address the theory of the coupled lattice and magnetization dynamics of freely suspended single-domain nanoparticles. Magnetic anisotropy generates low-frequency satellite peaks in the microwave absorption spectrum and a blueshift of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency. The low-frequency resonances are very sharp with maxima exceeding that of the FMR, because their magnetic and mechanical precessions are locked, thereby suppressing Gilbert damping. Magnetic nanoparticles can operate as nearly ideal motors that convert electromagnetic into mechanical energy. The Barnett/Einstein-de Haas effect is significant even in the absence of a net rotation.
