Abstract

Phase separation was found in an eicosane-based ferrofluid in zero applied field. Upon applying a magnetic field, the condensed phase breaks up to form a lattice of periodic columns. The periodicity λ scales with the layer thickness L. Two scaling regimes were found. When thickness is small, where no branching is observed, λ ∞L 1/2. In the large-thickness regime, a tree type of structure develops at the tail of each column, and the columns are separated by side bands while the scaling relation crosses over to λ ∞L 2/3. © 1994 Società Italiana di Fisica.
