The presence of chains, formed due to the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction, leads to strong deviations of magnetization curve from the Langevine curve for ideal superparamagnetic gas. Here we compare simulational results for a bidisperse ferrofluid (Ref. [2]) with the theoretical model (bidisperse ferrofluid with chains) predictions (Ref. [3]). We find for a small concentration of the large particle that the magnetization behavior is close to the one given by the modified mean field approach. For higher concentration of large particles there is a considerable growth in the initial susceptibility. The latter cannot be described in terms of homogeneous ferrocolloids. Using the results of Ref [1,3] we built a bidisperse model and calculated magnetic and structural quantities of the bidisperse fluid of Ref. [2]. The theoretical results are in excellent quantitative agreement with the ones of computer simulations.
