Temperature Variations of Rotational Drag on Ferromagnetic Nanowires in Viscous Fluids
Zhuoyan LiJohns Hopkins University
Department of Physics and AstronomyDr. Alexandre Anguelouch and Dr. Dan Reich
Purpose
to understand general rheological properties of 2D films
for example: elucidate the fundamental hydrodynamic laws surrounding cell membranes and protein bodies
Ni Nanowires

Microscope
Microscope setup: Helmhotz coils, temperature probes, Nikon camera, LabView, LiveCell
Sample preparation
The petri dish contains nanowires in-between an upper layer of silicone oil and a lower layer of glycerol solution
Graph of Angle vs. Time
Close Up of High Quality Fit
Analysis of Data
Movie of a single nanowire which has a step magnetic field applied to it
Graph of Viscosity vs. Temperature
Conclusion
There is a clear difference between the viscosity of thin films and bulk fluid
As shown in the analysis of data, the k coefficient fit is very reliable
The slopes of the different solutions are distinct curves which can be reproduced
