Pattern formation in an array of magnetic nanoscale rods mimics magnetic-dipole interaction-driven spinodal decomposition

Abstract: Magnetic-field-assisted self-assembly of magnetic-dipole moment carrying aerosol-grown iron nanoparticles on a nonmagnetic substrate results in the formation of magnetic nanoscale rods and bundles thereof. The magnetic dipolar interaction between the bundles essentially drives the formation of regular patterns of bundle density modulations in the two-dimensional array of elastically deformable magnetic rods. This pattern formation is shown to belong to the class of physical systems undergoing spinodal decompos… Show more

“…In general, linear 1D assemblies of magnetic nanoparticles have received considerable interest in various fields including micromechanical sensors 14,15 , microfluidics 16 , micro-swimmers 17 and also fundamental science 18 . Different techniques exist to synthesize 1D nanoparticle chains 11,12,[19][20][21] however, thanks to the high biological control imposed in the synthesis of the magnetosomes, magnetotactic bacteria produce 1D nanostructures with high reproducibility and quality 22 . Due to their exceptional properties magnetotactic bacteria, such as M. gryphiswaldense, remain highly investigated, motivating several experimental studies where their structural [23][24][25] and magnetic properties [26][27][28] were evaluated.…”

“…For this reason, the formation of nanoparticle arrays has attracted much attention. Nanoxerography, 4,5 Dip-pen lithography, 6 aerodynamic lenses, 7 magnetic field assisted self-assembly, 8 electrostatic assembly with focused ion beam charging, 9 electrostatic funneling, 10 and p-n junction based electrostatic method 11 were used to produce nanoparticle patterns. Recently, electrodynamic focusing concept for charged aerosols using ion charge accumulation was reported.…”
