Magnetic particles with shape anisotropy — Sofia Kantorovich1,2 and •Elena Pyanzina2 — 1Institute for Computational Physics, Pfaffenwaldring 27, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany — 2Ural Federal University, Lenin av 51, 620083, Ekaterinburg, Russia
Anisotropic particles form the cutting edge of dipolar soft matter research as they correspond completely to the idea of fine tuning and designing new materials with controllable properties. In this contribution we present a theoretical study and computer simulations on the ground states, and room temperature behaviour of magnetically capped colloids, magnetic ellipsoids, cylinders and cubes. We analyse in detail how the particle anisotropy can be used in fine-tuning of the properties and macro responses of the systems.
