Abstract

We have elaborated a system -that we call a ferrosmectic- which contains magnetic particles included in a lamellar phase. Because of the presence of the confined particles, this phase exhibits specific features that are revealed by submitting it to a magnetic field as well as by neutrons or quasi-elastic light scattering experiments. We present here a review of the different properties of this ferrosmectic phase.
