The present understanding of how dipolar forces affect the structure and phase behaviour of
classical fluids is reviewed. We focus mainly on the apparent absence of a liquid-vapour …

Flexible magnetic filaments, created recently in different labs, possess interesting physical
properties such as novel buckling instabilities. These magnetic filaments may be used as …

Dipolar particles are fundamental building blocks in nature and technology, yet the effect of
particle anisotropy is seldom explored. Here, we fabricate colloidal silica rods coated with a …

The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of the present and future
trends in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics …

A brief survey is given of recent simulation work of quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) systems,
monolayers and systems of finite thickness, involving dipolar interactions. Representative …

We study the formation and the dynamics of dipolar rings composed by microscopic
ferromagnetic ellipsoids, which self-assemble in water by switching the direction of the …

We studied a quasi-two-dimensional dipolar fluid in the chaining regime using Monte Carlo
canonical simulations and theoretical analyses. The self-assembled clusters were …

A combination of analytical calculations and Monte Carlo simulations is used to find the
ground state structures in monodisperse ferrofluid monolayers. Taking into account the …

We demonstrate experimentally and in computer simulations that magnetic microfloaters can
self-organize into various functional structures while energized by an external alternating …

We study the effects of long-range interactions on the phases observed in cohesive granular
materials. At high vibration amplitudes, a gas of magnetized particles is observed with …
