MAGNETIC INTERACTIONS OF CHAINS FORMED BY FERROMAGNETIC SPHERES

General properties of sphere-chain and chain-chain structures are analysed for homogeneously magnetized spheres. For field aligned structures the local maximum of the magnetic force is observed at H0/MS ≈ 0.5. The magnetic saturation effects are accounted by the Frölich-Kennelly law. Outlines of the approximate methodology of multi-chain interaction are given together with the test results.
