Depletion-Induced Chiral Chain Formation of Magnetic Spheres

Depletion-Induced Chiral Chain Formation of Magnetic Spheres

Experimental evidence is presented for the spontaneous formation of chiral configurations in bulk dispersions of magnetized colloids that interact by a combination of anisotropic dipolar interactions and isotropic depletion attractions. The colloids are superparamagnetic silica spheres, magnetized a...
