Abstract

In this Chapter we describe the self-assembly and interparticle correlations in dipolar soft matter. Following the historical development of the ideas, we start with an ideal dipolar gas, describe mean-field approaches, and several hierarchical steps in self-assembly. We study all of these phenomena in order to understand how to tune the response of dipolar soft matter to an external magnetic field. Apart from "traditional spherical magnetic colloids" we also briefly address the possibilities to alter the magnetic response by changing the shape or the structure of magnetic colloids.
