title: Dynamics of anisotropic superparamagnetic particles in a precessing magnetic field.
abstract: A bifurcation diagram for anisotropic magnetic particles in a precessing magnetic field is analyzed. It is found that a synchronous regime in the case of a prolate particle exists for all precession angles of the magnetic field if the frequency of field rotation is below some critical value. An oblate particle has a synchronous regime in a limited range of precession angle. To understand the flow of suspensions of these particles in precessing fields, it is essential to take into account the differing dynamics of prolate and oblate particles.
