Abstract
We study the optical transmittance of ternary mixtures of water, glycerin and ferrofluids. These mix- tures are subject to pulsed magnetic field and placed between crossed polarizers. After the magnetic field is switched off, the decay process is compared with q-exponential, stretched exponential, Mittag–Leffler, and one-sided Lévy stable functions. For short time, the experimental results are interpreted in terms of stretched exponentials. The parameters of this non-exponential relaxation are investigated as functions of temperature and the water, glycerin and ferrofluid concentrations.
