New Chaining Criteria in Dipolar Fluids Based on Monte Carlo Simulations

Abstract

A new energy-based chaining criterion was introduced in dipolar systems based on an earlier article by the author, in which the probability of chaining for adjacent particles in a new formula of magnetic susceptibility was used. The probability of chaining and the magnitude of the energy criterion can be calculated from the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation values of magnetic susceptibility. The energy criterion also depends on the dipole moment and the density. At high densities, the energy criterion is well below 70−75%. In addition, it was confirmed by simulation results that the chain length distribution follows a geometric distribution. How the probability of chaining depends on the energy criterion was given empirically and two parameters were fitted to it.
