Summary: | The aim of this review is to describe some aspects of the dynamic properties of magnetic multiparticle systems in the micrometer range. These particles include monodisperse magnetic microspheres, and magnetic holes, i.e. nonmagnetic particles dispersed in ferrofluids.The complementary use of analogue simulations and computer simulations to explore the dynamic properties is demonstrated.The ability to describe the complex dynamics of magnetic holes in quantitative symbolic dynamic terms using the notion of knot- and braid theory will be discussed. In particular, statistical analysis of braid words, diffusion, memory effects and correlations for the complex dynamics is illustrated. |
