| Abstract: | In order to investigate the peculiarities brought by the quasi-2D geometry into the aggregation processes in ferrofluids, a combination of density functional theory (DFT), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is presented. The microstructure formation and the phase behaviour of monodisperse ferrofluid monolayers is studied. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
