Abstract
Recent computational and experimental studies of the magnetic behaviour of ferrofluids have shown the existence of Curie-Weiss type behaviour at high temperatures. There has not, however, been clear evidence of a magnetic phase transition and we present here some results which have been obtained in order to examine this transition.
