Nanoparticle Shape Influences the Magnetic Response of Ferro-Colloids.

ABSTRACT: The interesting magnetic response of conventional ferro-colloid has proved extremely useful in a wide range of technical applications. Furthermore, the use of nano/micro- sized magnetic particles has proliferated cutting-edge medical research, such as drug targeting and hyperthermia. In order to diversify and improve the application of such systems, new avenues of functionality must be explored. Current efforts focus on incorporating directional interactions that are surplus to the intrinsic magnetic one. This additional directionality can be conveniently introduced by considering systems composed of magnetic particles of different shapes. Here we present a combined analytical and simulation study of permanently magnetized dipolar superball particles; a geometry that closely resembles magn
