Abstract

A phenomenological theory is proposed to describe the equilibrium of a thin structured film of magnetic fluid on the surface of another non-magnetic fluid in the absence of an external magnetic field. The stability of a semi-infinite plane magnetic film is considered on the basis of the theory proposed. The result obtained can serve as a qualitative explanation of experiments performed on thin films of magnetic fluid.
