Abstract
The interaction between two finite chains of dipoles is treated in a systematic fashion by considering perturbations from the idealized case of two infinite, uniform, parallel chains. A long-range attractive interaction is obtained which survives the zero-temperature limit. Thermal effects increase the range of attraction. Applications to magnetorheological fluids are discussed.Keywords
