摘要
Atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and static magnetic birefringence (SMB) were used to unfold the particle size polydispersity profile of a magnetite-based magnetic fluid sample. The data obtained from different techniques were curve fitted using the lognormal distribution function, from which the mean particle diameter (D-m) and the standard deviation (sigma) were obtained. In comparison to the TEM data, the AFM data show a reduction of D-m (about 20%) and an increase of sigma (about 15%). In contrast, close agreement between the TEM and SMB data was found.
