title: Magnetic measurements on frozen ferrofluids as a method for estimating the magnetoviscous effect.
abstract: Magnetic measurements on frozen ferrofluids with and without significant structure formation in an applied magnetic field have been performed. The results of these investigations were compared with the magnetic field dependent rheological properties for two different kinds of ferrofluids. Magnetic experiments performed similarly to conventional field cooled-field warming magnetic tests show the contribution of magnetic domain blocking and structure reorganization to the rheology of ferrofluids. Our efforts have shown the possibility of giving an estimate of the magnetoviscous effect by considering the temperature dependence of the magnetization of a frozen sample.
