From now on, MagChain simulation software will be available for download from GitHub.
This is the main page of the project:
https://github.com/magchainsimulationpackage
This first version of the package (24Nov2011) which was available from ICMAB-CSIC website and subsequent releases are available from the releases site here:

Last March 4th, Mr. Jordi Andreu Segura defended his paper “Statistical Mechanics of Superparamagnetic Colloidal Dispersions Under Magnetic Fields”, which was submitted to obtain a PhD degree in Materials Science at the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. He obtained the maximum "Cum Laude" qualification.
Here is a Blog post about this tesis and the public-private partnership involved in his work:
Popularization article (in CATALAN language) written for the journal of the Societat catalana de Física "Revista de Física"
The pdf is freely available (Open Access)
Article Societat Catalana de Fisica
Videos about our work at YouTube: Magnetic particles, aggregation and magnetophoresis
- After switching off the field, the initial dispersion is recovered.
For more details about the science behind these videos, see our paper.
We have published a review article in Soft Matter journal ; about diluted dispersions of superparamagnetic dispersions under high magnetic fields.
The article has been made freely available under a Creative Commons license using CSIC funds (RSC Gold for Gold scheme).
We are pleased to announce the first release of the MagChain Simulation Software. This first version of the package (24Nov2011) can be downloaded free of charge under a free license for academic use. Check the documentation page for more details on this software.
The algorithms and performance of the code is discussed in J.S. Andreu, C. Calero, J. Camacho and J. Faraudo, Phys. Rev. E 85, 036709 (2012)
