Wed 711:<strong>10</strong>-14:00P5.3Monte Carlo simulations of magnetic nanorod systemsCarlos Alvarez 1 and Sabine H. L. Klapp 11 Technische Universität Berlin, TU Berlin, Sekr. EW 7-1 Institut für Theo. Physik,Hardenbergstr. 36. Raum: EW 268 <strong>10</strong>623, Berlin, GermanyIn recent years there has been increasing interest in the structural and rheological properties ofsuspensions of non-spherical magnetic particles. Here we present preliminary computer simulationresults for systems of magnetic nanorods formed out of several dipolar hard spheres. We comparethese systems with dipolar nanorod models with one central dipole and a hard rod-like (spheroidal)core. We analyze the energetic landscape for different configurations of such particles, and performMonte Carlo simulations to study their aggregation behavior and their thermodynamic propertiesat various densities.3
