Capillary assemblies in a rotating magnetic field
Galien Grosjean, Maxime Hubert, Ylona Collard +4
Small objects floating on a fluid have a tendency to aggregate due to capillary forces. This effect has been used, with the help of a magnetic induction field, to assemble submilli…

Optimal motion of triangular magnetocapillary swimmers
Alexander Sukhov, Sebastian Ziegler, Qingguang Xie +7
A system of ferromagnetic particles trapped at a liquid-liquid interface and subjected to a set of magnetic fields (magnetocapillary swimmers) is studied numerically using a hybrid…

Swift thermal steering of domain walls in ferromagnetic MnBi stripes
Alexander Sukhov, Levan Chotorlishvili, Arthur Ernst +5
We predict a fast domain wall (DW) motion induced by a thermal gradient across a nanoscopic ferromagnetic stripe of MnBi. The driving mechanism is an exchange torque fueled by magn…
