Description:
Advances in micromachinery and nanotechnology, such as magnetically actuated microrobots for navigating in viscous environments, are important driving forces in medicine. Recently, it has been shown that the spatial orientation of an ensemble of immobilized nanoparticles with parallel-aligned magnetic easy axes has an effect on the magnetization response to an external dynamic magnetic field. Here, we introduce a method that allows us to estimate the spatial orientation of this axis from the magnetization response and experimentally study a potential application scenario.
