The effect of the liquid crystalline host on structural changes in magnetosomes based on ferronematics is studied using the surface acoustic wave (SAW) technique supported by some capacitance and light transmission measurements. The measurement of the attenuation response of SAW propagating along the interface between LC and the piezoelectric substrate is used to study processes of structural changes under magnetic field. The magnetosome nanoparticles of the same volume concentration were added to three different nematic LCs, 5CB, 6CB, and E7. Unlike to undoped LCs, the different responses of SAW attenuation under the influence of magnetic and electric fields in LCs doped with magnetosomes were observed due to characteristic structural changes. The decrease of the threshold field for doped LCs as compared with pure LCs and slight effects on structural changes were registered. The threshold magnetic fields of LCs and composites were determined from capacitance measurements, and the slight shift to lower values was registered for doped LCs. The shift of nematic-isotropic transition was registered from dependencies of SAW attenuation on temperature. The acoustic anisotropy measurement approved the previous supposition about the role of bulk viscosity in used SAW measurements. In addition, capacitance and light transmition investigations supported SAW results and pointed out conclusions about their magnetic field behavior. Obtained results are discussed and confronted with previous ones and coincide well with those observed using acoustic, optical, or dielectric techniques.
