Measuring magnetic moments of polydisperse ferrofluids utilizing the inverse Langevin function
The dipole strength of magnetic particles in a suspension is obtained by a graphical rectification of the magnetization curves based on the inverse Langevin function. The method yields the arithmetic and the harmonic mean of the particle distribution. It has an advantage compared to the fitting of magnetization curves to some appropriate mathematical model: It does not rely on assuming a particular distribution function of the particles.
