Domain wall tip for manipulation of magnetic particles.
We demonstrate a method for manipulation of single magnetic microparticles based on a domain wall tip displaced in a controlled manner. By applying an external magnetic field, the tip can either drag or push magnetic particles. This kind of tweezers has potential applications in probing and manipulating colloidal systems.
