Abstract: Abstract By employing a combination of Molecular Dynamics simulations and experimental SAXS studies, we investigate low-concentration suspensions of polydisperse magnetic platelets with dipole moments perpendicular to the platelets' plane. Exploiting the precise control of platelet… read more here.
