Abstract
We report the exptl. observation of magnetic field deformation of spherical nanocapsules, self-assembled from sexithiophene mols., into oblate spheroids, confirming a long-standing theor. prediction. The magnetically deformed objects can be trapped in a compatible organogel to make them suitable for further investigations and applications. Our results show that strong magnetic forces can be effectively used, in a contact-free manner, as a tool to control the self-organization of a whole class of functional org. mols.
