Abstract
An analysis of particle interactions in a magnetite ferrofluid has enabled an interpretation to be made of a nonlinear variation of initial susceptibility with concentration, Curie Weiss behaviour with a negative temperature intercept and a change in position of the spin-glass peak to lower temperatures as the ferrofluid concentration is reduced.
