X-ray microcomputed tomography was used for three dimensional investigation of the microstructure of suspensions of multidomain soft iron particles in magnetic nanofluids. The measurements were performed using two different approaches: by keeping the sample frozen and by applying an external magnetic field. Results show that already a relatively low magnetic field gradient drives the micron-sized iron particles towards the stronger field and thus leads to a redistribution of the ferromagnetic particles in the magnetic nanofluid. Three-dimensional images of the internal microstructure of the
composite magnetizable fluid (CMF) were obtained not only for the nano-micro composite system placed in a closed sample holder, but also for the spikes formed at the CMF free surface. It was demonstrated that the X-ray microcomputed tomography is an efficient way to investigate the distribution and chain formation of ferromagnetic microparticles in the magnetic nanofluid carrier allowing an analysis even at a single particle level.
