In recent years, in order to build tailored structures, magnetic nanoparticles and colloids that deviate from the model of a spherical particle with a dipole moment at its center were studied. Among them are dumbbells, magnetic core-shell particles, elongated ferroparticles, and colloidal particles with a magnetic cap. In this contribution, we both experimentally and numerically shows how an equilibrium state with non-collinear arrangement of the magnetic moments of colloidal particles with a magnetic cap enables the controlled self-assembly of diverse structures in two dimensions via constant and low-frequency external magnetic fields. Branched clusters of staggered chains, compact clusters, linear chains, and dispersed single particles can be formed and interconverted. The presented precise control of structure formation and reconfiguration under external fields of only a few mT open new potential for using in responsive materials for highly sensitive magnetic and optical applications.
