- Abstract
Effect of static magnetic field with the strength up to 6.4×104 A/m on the structural properties of water is investigated at 300 K, using measurements of angular dependences of the scattered laser radiation intensity. This effect manifests itself in the changes of basic structural properties of water such as a set of clusters available, their concentration and sizes. A degree and character of the changes depend on the modes of field influence (e.g., fixed or rotating field), the field strength and action time, the initial set and concentration of clusters in the water, as well as parameters of the field rotation. The structural properties change due to work of the field upon the orientation, along the field direction, of magnetic moments of clusters' elements (hexagonal rings and planes) and the clusters as a whole. This work is spent, on the one hand, on breaking hydrogen bonds that bind the cluster elements, and surmounting a friction force appearing when the clusters rotate in the magnetic field. Besides, it is spent on forming new clusters from the fragments of destroyed ones and forming magnetically ordered clusters from the intact ones.
