In the last chapter, we saw how it is possible today to fabricate regular 2D and 3D lattices of magnetic nanoparticles [1–3]. The aim here is to study the specific properties of these systems that can be attributed to the magnetic properties of the particles. Such properties underlie several applications currently under development. We shall then discuss ferrofluids. Magnetic nanoparticles are deposited on a substrate by evaporation of ferrofluids. The properties of these fluids are essential for explaining the structures observed on nanometric and mesoscopic scales in the resulting deposits. Finally, we shall discuss the influence of a magnetic field on the deposition structures.
