An experimental system for studying dynamic behavior of magnetic microparticles

Abstract
Optical microscopy combined with digital image analysis is used to study the properties of magnetically interacting colloidal microparticles in constant and time-varying magnetic fields. This represents model experiments to observe directly cooperative behavior of many-body systems. Some typical results are presented for experiments related to magnetic aggregation, nonlinear microparticle dynamics, and two-dimensional melting.
