Polarization and transmission of microwaves in the magnetic suspension in the applied magnetic field

The production method of magnetic suspension consisting of ferromagnetic particles dispersed in cedarwood oil is presented at the beginning of this article. Next, the set-up for microwaves generation using a klystron is described. The main part of this paper concerning microwave transmission and polarization during its passage in samples of the produced magnetic suspension placed in a magnetic field is based on the following parameters: induction of this field, filling factor of magnetic suspension by ferromagnetic particles, dimensions of particles, viscosity of liquid carrier, and ratio of the magnetic field changes. Conducted investigations show that microwaves are damped and polarized in these magnetic suspensions. Obtained results are discussed and observed effects are explained by ordering of ferromagnetic particles in magnetic suspension by applied magnetic field.
