Shape Discrimination with Hexapole-Dipole Interactions in Magic Angle Spinning Colloidal Magnetic Resonance
We have studied the interactions between magnetically driven, DNA-linked anisotropic and isotropic colloidal rotors interacting via induced magnetic dipolar and multipolar forces. We show that a balance between magnetic dipole-dipole and dipole-hexapole interactions near the magic angle allows discrimination between spherical and anisotropic magnetic colloidal rotors.
