旋转磁场中微米级赤铁矿块的群集实验
Swarming of micron-sized hematite cubes in a rotating magnetic field -- Experiments
摘要:
通过粒子在场下的旋转输入能量,使系统进入非平衡态。在这里,我们调查的悬浮旋转磁性立方体。合成了100 μ m大小的赤铁矿立方体,并对其进行了显微观察。当暴露在旋转的磁场中时,它们形成旋转的群,像液滴一样相互作用。我们描述了群集行为及其限制和表征群的大小和角速度依赖于磁场强度和频率。发现群的角速度作为场频率的函数与理论模型定量一致。值得注意的是,花生状或椭球状的赤铁矿颗粒不会形成群集。
英文摘要:
Energy input by under-field rotation of particles drives the systems to emergent non-equilibrium states. Here we investigate the suspension of rotating magnetic cubes. Micron-sized hematite cubes are synthesized and observed microscopically. When exposed to a rotating magnetic field, they form rotating swarms that interact with each other like liquid droplets. We describe the swarming behaviour and its limits and characterize swarm size and angular velocity dependence on magnetic field strength and frequency. A quantitative agreement with a theoretical model is found for the angular velocity of swarms as a function of field frequency. It is interesting to note that hematite particles with peanut or ellipsoidal shapes do not form swarms.
