Abstract

nanoparticles with the liquid crystal was investigated by small-angle X-ray-scattering and magnetization measurements. The obtained results reveal aggregates formed by magnetic nanoparticles that are oriented in the nematic phase. Moreover, the prepared samples show unexpected behaviour of a sudden change in magnetization, which is unusual for such ferronematics.
