Instability of the ferrofluid layer on a magnetizable substrate in a perpendicular magnetic field

Materials Science 2013-07-30 v1 Classical Physics

Abstract

The paper presents an experimental study of the instability of a magnetic fluid layer of finite thickness covering a magnetizable metal plate exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field. The critical field strength and the instability wave number have been measured.
