Abstract
The dynamics of magnetization is theoretically studied for a system of ferromagnetic nanoparticles suspended in a gel (a ferrogel). The Brownian motion impedes orientation of the particles determined by the elastic matrix. Therefore, the main parameter of the medium determining the static magnetic susceptibility value is the ratio of the modulus of elasticity of matrix to the temperature. The dispersion factors of dynamic susceptibility components include combinations of the velocities of several processes: elastic restoration of the orientation of particles, their rotational Brownian diffusion, and viscous relaxation of the inertial motion. The absorption of the energy of the alternating field in a ferrogel is found to be lower than in an isotropic magnetic suspension. The effect of the interaction of elastic and Brownian forces on the effective times of ferrogel magnetization relaxation is monitored.
