abstract = {Ferrofluids typically respond to magnetic fields and can be
manipulated by external magnetic fields. Here, we report on
formation of visually observable patterns in a diluted
low-polarity ferrofluid exposed to external electric fields.
This presents a specific type of ferrofluid structure driven
by a combined effect of electrohydrodynamics and electrical
body forces. The free charge and permittivity variation are
considered to play a key role in the observed phenomenon.
The corresponding changes in the ferrofluid structure have
been found at nanoscale as well. By small-angle neutron
scattering (SANS), we show that the magnetic nanoparticles
aggregate in direct current (dc) electric field with a
strong dependence on the field intensity. The anisotropic
aggregates preferably orient in the direction of the applied
electric field. Conducting SANS experiments with alternating
current (ac) electric fields of various frequencies, we
found a critical frequency triggering the aggregation
process. Our experimental study could open future
applications of ferrofluids based on insulating liquids.},
