Abstract

The feasibility of 3D self-assembly of milli-magnetic particles that interact via magnetic dipolar forces is investigated. Typically magnetic particles, such as isotropic spheres, self-organize in stable 2D configurations. By modifying the shape of the particles, 3D self-assembly may be enabled. The design of the particles and the experimental setup are presented. The magnetic configurations of simple particle arrangements are obtained via energy minimization in simulations. The simulations show that a 3D configuration can become energetically favourable over 2D configurations, if the shape of the particle is modified.
