When magnetic ellipsoidal particles adsorbed at a fluid–fluid interface are subjected to a magnetic field directed normal to the interface, they tilt with respect to the interface and deform the interface in a dipolar fashion. These dipolar deformations interact with each other and cause particles to assemble into chain‐like structures. This is described in work by G. B. Davies and co‐workers on page 6715.
