Viscosity Control of the Dynamic Self-Assembly in Ferromagnetic Suspensions
Viscosity Control of the Dynamic Self-Assembly in Ferromagnetic Suspensions
Recent studies of dynamic self-assembly in ferromagnetic colloids suspended in liquid-air or liquid-liquid interfaces revealed a rich variety of dynamic structures ranging from linear snakes to axisymmetric asters, which exhibit novel morphology of the magnetic ordering accompanied by large-scale hydrodynamic flows. Based on controlled experiments and first principles theory, we …
