It is known that ferrofluids typically respond to magnetic fields and can be manipulated by such external fields. The particle assembly in magnetic nanofluids can be induced even by a direct current (dc) electric field. An experimental study of magnetic colloidal particles and their changes induced by an external electric field in a ferrofluid based on 2 transformer oils with different concentrations of nanoparticles is presented. By small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), we show the influence of the electric field intensity and the concentration on magnetic nanoparticle aggregates.
