Pattern formation of dipolar colloids in rotating fields: layering and synchronization
Pattern formation of dipolar colloids in rotating fields: layering and synchronization
We report Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation and theoretical results for a system of spherical colloidal particles with permanent dipole moments in a rotating magnetic field. Performing simulations at a fixed packing fraction and dipole coupling parameter, we construct a full non-equilibrium phase diagram as a function of the driving frequency …
