Coarsening dynamics of transient networks in an experiment with dipolar hard spheres — •Armin Koegel and Reinhard Richter — Experimentalphysik 5, Universität Bayreuth, D-95440 Bayreuth, Germany
Permanent magnetic dipoles may self-assemble to linear chains and rings, even without an externally applied magnetic field. This has been investigated for nano-sized particles in ferrofluids; see e.g. [1,2] However, in this system the emerging structures and their dynamics are difficult to observe. Similar aggregates have also been observed in a mixture of glass beads and magnetized steel spheres, which are shaken in a vessel [3]. In the present contribution we focus on the formation of transient networks in this system, when quenching the amplitude of the vibrations [4]. We analyze the evolving networks by the number of spheres in a network cluster, its gyration radius, and its average shortest path length.
