Clustering in ferronematics—The effect of magnetic collective ordering

Summary: Clustering of magnetic nanoparticles can dramatically change their collective magnetic properties, and it consequently may influence their performance in biomedical and technological applications. Owing to tailored surface modification of magnetic particles such composites represent stable...
