A new magnetophoresis method to determine the magnetic susceptibility of single nano/microparticles was developed by applying Brownian motion analysis to determine the size of the particle. This method could measure simultaneously both the magnetophoretic velocity and the radius of the identical single nano/microparticles, which are necessary for the determination of the magnetic susceptibility...

We present the first three-dimensional fully kinetic electromagnetic relativistic particle-in-cell simulations of the collision of two interpenetrating plasma shells. The highly accurate plasma-kinetic ”particlein-cell” (with the total of 10 particles) parallel code OSIRIS has been used. Our simulations show: (i) the generation of long-lived near-equipartition (electro)magnetic fields, (ii) non...

We report a technique to realize reconfigurable colloidal crystals by using the controlled motion of particle defects above an externally modulated magnetic substrate. The transport of particles is induced by applying a uniform rotating magnetic field to a ferrite garnet film characterized by a periodic lattice of magnetic bubbles. For filling factor larger than one colloid per bubble domain, t...

Dispersed submicroscopic magnetic particles were used to probe viscoelasticity for cytoplasm and purified components of cytoplasm. An externally applied magnetic field exerted force on particles in cells, in filamentous actin (F-actin) solutions, or in F-actin gels formed by the addition of the actin gelation factor, actin-binding protein (ABP). The particle response to magnetic torque can be r...

7 Properties of magnetic suspensions depend on the fluid, the particles and the magnetic background field. 8 The simulation is aimed at understanding the influence of magnetic properties in High Gradient Magnetic 9 Separation processes. In HGMS magnetic particles are collected on magnetic wires for separation. External 10 magnetic forces are calculated or simulated using the Finite Element Meth...

We present particle dynamics simulations for the response of magnetorheological (MR) uids upon application of a magnetic eld. The particles motion is considered to be governed by magnetic, hydrodynamic and repulsive interactions. Fluid-particle interactions are accounted for via Stokes' drag while inter-particle repulsions are modeled through approximate hard-sphere rejections. In accordance wi...

In this paper we study the motion of a charged particle on a Riemmanian surface under the influence of a positive magnetic field B. Using Moser’s Twist Theorem and ideas from classical pertubation theory we find sufficient conditions to perpetually trap the motion of a particle with a sufficient large charge in a neighborhood of a level set of the magnetic field. The conditions on the level set...

Nanostructured magnetic systems have many applications, including potential use in cancer therapy deriving from their ability to heat in alternating magnetic fields. In this work we explore the influence of particle chain formation on the normalized heating properties, or specific loss power (SLP) of both low- (spherical) and high- (parallelepiped) anisotropy ferrite-based magnetic fluids. Anal...

In this article, we demonstrate how magnetic anisotropy of colloidal particles can give rise to unusual dynamics and controllable rearrangements under time-dependent fields. As an example, we study spherical particles with a radially off-centered net magnetic moment in an oscillating field. Based on complementary data from a numerical simulation of spheres with shifted dipole and experimental o...
