The dynamical properties of the magneto-optical effects of magnetic fluids thin films were investigated. The thin films, 12 μm thick, of magnetite colloidal particles in water solvents and alkylnaphthalene one were prepared. A pulsed magnetic field H(t) was generated in a single turn coil by discharging a 40-kV capacitor bank. The intensity I(t) of the transmitted light through the two crossed polarizers and the films located in the coil was measured. The relaxation process of the magneto-optical effect can be described in terms of a single relaxation time, τ=3 μs, for a water-based magnetic fluid, while the relaxation time constant for alkylnaphthalene one depends on the field strength. These dynamical properties can be interpreted by the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau theory by introducing the order parameter of the colloidal particles.
