The recent discovery of altermagnets has opened new perspectives in the field of ordered phases in condensed matter. In strongly-correlated superfluids, the nodal p-wave and d-wave ordered phases of $^{3}$He and cuprates play a prominent…
Rod-shaped colloids with attractive tips can form linear aggregates that may subsequently undergo hierarchical self-assembly into nematic fluids. Inspired by recent modelling efforts on chromonic liquid crystals, composed of discotic…
A superconducting rod with a magnetic moment on top develops vortices obtained here through 3D calculations of the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The inhomogeneity of the applied field brings new properties to the vortex patterns that vary…
Systems of closely-spaced resonators can be strongly coupled by interactions mediated by scattered electromagnetic fields. In large systems the resulting response has been shown to be more sensitive to these collective interactions than to…
We report the discovery of a mixed orientational structure in the quasi-one-dimensional fluid of hard non-spherical bodies with the exact calculation of the thermodynamic and structural quantities using the transfer operator method. The…
We have synthesized nanoscale magnetic compasses with high yield. These ferromagnetic iron carbide nano-particles, which are encapsulated in a pair of parallel carbon needles, change their direction in response to an external magnetic…
We present a new material which displays anisotropic and mechanical properties tuneable during synthesis under magnetic field. It is formulated by mixing aqueous suspensions of polymer nanolatex and magnetic nanoparticles, coated by a thin…
We study self-propelled particles with velocity reversal interacting by uniaxial (nematic) alignment within a coarse-grained hydrodynamic theory. Combining analytical and numerical continuation techniques, we show that the physics of this…
The growth of thin films and nanostructures is a fundamental process for constructing both model-type systems and nanoscale devices, where performance and functionalities can be controlled by the choice of parameters. For magnetic systems…
In this study, we investigated the self-ordering process in Langmuir films of polydisperse iron oxide nanoparticles on a water surface, employing in-situ X-ray scattering, surface pressure-area isotherm analysis, and Brewster angle…
We present a numerical study on geometric percolation in liquid dispersions of hard slender colloidal particles subjected to an external orienting field. In the formulation and liquid-state processing of nanocomposite materials, the…
In order to give insights into how anisotropic nano-objects interact with living cell membranes, and possibly self-assemble, we designed magnetic nanorods with average size around 100 nm x 1$\mu$m by assembling iron oxide nanocubes within a…
A quasiclassical theory of giant magnetoresistance in nanoscale point contacts between different ferromagnetic metals is developed. The contacts were sorted by three types of mutual positions of the conduction spin-subband bottoms which are…
We analyze theoretically the electrostatic interaction of surface-charged colloids at water interfaces with special attention to the experimentally relevant case of large charge densities on the colloid-water interface. Whereas linear…
The influence of an external magnetic field upon the capture of 130 nm magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) by ferromagnetic nanostructures was investigated. The magnetophoretic forces acting upon a nanoparticle were simulated in external magnetic…
We study experimentally and theoretically the interactions between paramagnetic particles dispersed in water and driven above the surface of a stripe patterned magnetic garnet film. An external rotating magnetic field modulates the stray…
Ferrofluids are typically suspensions of magnetite nanoparticles, and behave as a homogeneous continuum. The production of nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution and the achievement of colloidal stability are important technological…
Magnetization reversals through the formation of vortex state and the rotation of onion state are two processes with comparable probabilities for symmetric magnetic nanorings with radius of about 50 nanometers. This magnetic bistability is…
Nanoparticles of iron were prepared in distilled water using very thin iron wires and sheets, by the electro-exploding wire technique. Transmission electron microscopy reveals the size of the nanoparticles to be in the range 10 to 50 nm.…
Recent theoretical works exploring the hydrodynamics of soft material in non-equilibrium situations are reviewed. We discuss the role of hydrodynamic interactions for three different systems: i) the deformation and orientation of…
