In this thesis we use analytical theory and high resolution finite element simulations (using the program ‘Surface Evolver’) to consider the influence of an external magnetic field on the orientation and self-assembly of rod-like magnetic particles....

Magnetic cylindrical colloids at liquid interfaces exhibit non-volatile switching of their orientation in an external field (2016)
Journal Article
Newton, B. J., & Buzza, D. M. A. (2016). Magnetic cylindrical colloids at liquid interfaces exhibit non-volatile switching of their orientation in an external field. Soft matter, 12(24), 5285-5296. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6sm00136j

We study the orientation of magnetic cylindrical particles adsorbed at a liquid interface in an external field using analytical theory and high resolution finite element simulations. Cylindrical particles are interesting since they possess multiple l...
