Self-assembly of magnetic nanostructures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use Monte Carlo and quaternion molecular dynamics simulations to study the self-assembly of intriguing structures which form in colloidal suspensions of small magnetite particles. We show that the only stable isomers with few particles, a ring and a chain, can be efficiently interconverted using a magnetizable tip. We propose to use the oscillating dipole field of the tip to locally anneal the aggregates to either a ring in zero field or a chain in nonzero applied field.

Diamondoids are cage-like saturated hydrocarbons consisting of fused cyclohexane rings. The Diamondoids family of compounds is one of the best candidates for molecular building blocks (MBBs) in nanotechnology to construct organic nanostructures compared to other MBBs known so far. The challenge is to find a route for self-assembly of these cage hydrocarbons and their applications in the bottom-...
