It was found that the assembly was dependent upon the difference between colloidal relaxation time and field period. The same experiments on DMSA-coated g-Fe2O3 nanoparticles exhibited that the relaxation time may be mainly determined by the magnetic size rather than the physical size. Our results may be valuable for the knowledge of dynamic assembly of colloidal particles. Keywords magnetic field dynamic assembly pattern formation magnetic nanoparticles Background With the expanding application of magnetic nanoparticles in cellular culture-matrix and tissue engineering the interaction between nanomaterials and cells is becoming a central issue 1 2 . The assembly of magnetic nanoparticles will play an important role in the issue because the colloidal behavior can be greatly affected by the assembled morphology. Very recently the time-varied alternating magnetic field got reported to be capable of inducing the assembly of iron oxid e nanoparticles. It was discovered that Fe3O4 nanoparticles can form the fibrous assemblies in the presence of 80-KHz or 50-Hz alternating magnetic field 3 4 . The results also showed that the mechanism of colloidal assembly induced by the alternating magnetic field is essentially different from that induced by the static magnetic field which may result from the variety in time domain. Thus the frequency response of colloidal assembly directed by time-varied magnetic field is imperative to study. However there has been little report on this topic. In this paper .
