Abstract
We discuss the peculiarities of the structure of the interface between a metal and a stable colloidal dispersion of charged nanoparticles in an electrolyte. It is demonstrated that a quasi-2D ionic structure of elevated density arises in its vicinity due to the effect of electrostatic image forces. The stabilized colloidal particles, being electroneutral and spatially distributed objects in the bulk of the electrolyte and approaching the interface, are attracted to it. In their turn, the counterions forming their coat partially retract into the 2D-layer, which results in an acquisition by the colloidal particle of the effective charge eZ*≫e and which, together with its mirror image, creates the electric dipole. The formed dipoles, possessing the moments directed perpendicularly to the interface, form the gas with repulsion between particles. The intensity of this repulsion, evidently, depends on the value of the effective charge eZ* acquired by the nanoparticle having lost a number of counterions. It can be related to the value of the excess osmotic pressure Posm measured in the experiment. On the other hand, this effective charge can be connected by means of the simple geometric consideration with the structural charge eZ of the nanoparticle core being in the bulk of the electrolyte.

Abstract
Ferrofluids based on maghemite nanoparticles (NPs), typically 10 nm in diameter, are dispersed in an ionic liquid (1-ethyl 3-methylimidazolium bistriflimide - EMIM-TFSI). The average interparticle interaction is found to be repulsive by small angle scattering of X-rays and of neutrons, with a second virial coefficient A2 = 7.3. A moderately concentrated sample at Φ = 5.95 vol% is probed by forced Rayleigh scattering under an applied magnetic field (up to H = 100 kA m-1) from room temperature up to T = 460 K. Irrespective of the values of H and T, the NPs in this study are always found to migrate towards the cold region. The in-field anisotropy of the mass diffusion coefficient Dm and that of the (always positive) Soret coefficient ST are well described by the presented model in the whole range of H and T. The main origin of anisotropy is the spatial inhomogeneities of concentration in the ferrofluid along the direction of the applied field. Since this effect originates from the magnetic dipolar interparticle interaction, the anisotropy of thermodiffusion progressively vanishes when temperature and thermal motion increase.
