Structural ordering in the concentrated magnetic colloids containing 50 × 5 nm hard magnetic disc-like SrFe12O19 nanoparticles was investigated by cryogenic scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, magnetic measurements, and small-angle X-ray scattering. It was revealed that macroscopically homogeneous magnetic liquid consists of dynamic threads of stacked nanoparticles. The threads align into quasiperiodic arrays with the distances between individual threads of a few micrometers. They also can form pseudodomain structures with ~ 90° domain boundaries realized through T-type thread interconnects. The effects of magnetic attraction and electrostatic repulsion on the equilibrium interplatelet distance in the threads were studied. It was demonstrated that this distance can be tuned by the control of the particles charge and electric double layer screening from Stern layer thickness (~ 1 nm) to tens of nanometers. It was shown that the permanent magnetic field is not able to cause any structural changes in the ordered magnetic liquid phase, while alternating field draws particles apart by their vibrations. External variation of interparticle distance up to 6% was achieved using an alternating magnetic field of low intensity. Experimental data were complemented by the theoretical models of screened electrostatic interactions between spherical and platelike magnetic particles. The last model provides good predictive power and correlates with the experimental data. The stabilization energy of the condensed phase in the order of 1-10 kBT was derived from the model. An approach allows controlling of an equilibrium interparticle distance and interparticle distance distribution by adjusting the magnetization and surface charge of the particles as well as the ionic strength of the solvent.

Abstract
Structural ordering in the concentrated magnetic colloids containing 50 × 5 nm hard magnetic disc-like SrFe12O19 nanoparticles was investigated by cryogenic scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, magnetic measurements, and small-angle X-ray scattering. It was revealed that macroscopically homogeneous magnetic liquid consists of dynamic threads of stacked nanoparticles. The threads align into quasiperiodic arrays with the distances between individual threads of a few micrometers. They also can form pseudodomain structures with ~ 90° domain boundaries realized through T-type thread interconnects. The effects of magnetic attraction and electrostatic repulsion on the equilibrium interplatelet distance in the threads were studied. It was demonstrated that this distance can be tuned by the control of the particles charge and electric double layer screening from Stern layer thickness (~ 1 nm) to tens of nanometers. It was shown that the permanent magnetic field is not able to cause any structural changes in the ordered magnetic liquid phase, while alternating field draws particles apart by their vibrations. External variation of interparticle distance up to 6% was achieved using an alternating magnetic field of low intensity. Experimental data were complemented by the theoretical models of screened electrostatic interactions between spherical and platelike magnetic particles. The last model provides good predictive power and correlates with the experimental data. The stabilization energy of the condensed phase in the order of 1-10 kBT was derived from the model. An approach allows controlling of an equilibrium interparticle distance and interparticle distance distribution by adjusting the magnetization and surface charge of the particles as well as the ionic strength of the solvent.
