In this paper, the dynamic magnetic properties of an ensemble of interacting immobilized magnetic nanoparticles with aligned easy axes in an applied ac magnetic field directed perpendicular to the easy axes are considered. The system models soft, magnetically sensitive composites synthesized from liquid dispersions of the magnetic nanoparticles in a strong static magnetic field, followed by the carrier liquid's polymerization. After polymerization, the nanoparticles lose translational degrees of freedom; they react to an ac magnetic field via Néel rotation, when the particle's magnetic moment deviates from the easy axis inside the particle body. Based on a numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the probability density of the magnetic moment orientation, the dynamic magnetization, frequency-dependent susceptibility, and relaxation times of the particle's magnetic moments are determined. It is shown that the system's magnetic response is formed under the influence of competing interactions, such as dipole-dipole, field-dipole, and dipole-easy-axis interactions. The contribution of each interaction to the magnetic nanoparticle's dynamic response is analyzed. The obtained results provide a theoretical basis for predicting the properties of soft, magnetically sensitive composites, which are increasingly used in high-tech industrial and biomedical technologies.
