Magnetic nano/micro-particles are currently applied in many diverse research and industrial disciplines. These particles exhibit a number of interesting properties that can be utilised, leading to a number of established and developing applications. Most notably: magnetic drug targeting; magnetic hyperthermia cancer treatment; and ferrofluids. In each of these applications, a crucial piece of information is required; namely, some sort of insight into the magnetic behaviour of these particles. Ideally, one would like some indication of this a priori. As such, we present here theoretical and simulation studies on permanently magnetised particles that are actually cube-like in shape [1]. We have investigated the differences in magnetic behaviour arising from this additional directional interaction, focussing on the initial magnetic susceptibility of low-density suspensions.
