Macroscopic optical effects in low concentration ferronematics

We present a detailed experimental and theoretical study of the optical response of suspensions of ferromagnetic nanoparticles ("ferroparticles") in nematic liquid crystals ("ferronematics"), concentrating on the magnetic field-induced Frederiks transition. Even extremely low fer...
