Abstract
Langevin dynamics is used to study equilibrium properties of the suspension of magnetic filaments (chains of nanoparticles permanently crosslinked with polymers). It is shown that the filament suspension generally has a larger magnetic susceptibility than the system of unlinked nanoparticles with the same average particle concentration. However, actual susceptibility gain strongly depends on length and flexibility of filaments. It is also shown that in a strong gravitational (centrifugal) field sedimentation profiles of filaments are less homogeneous than that of unlinked particles. The spatial distribution of filaments weakly depends on the intensity of interparticle dipole-dipole interactions.
