Critical density for the stability of a 2D magnet array
Confining a given number of magnets with vertically aligned moments on a non-magnetic surface creates a 2D magnet array, self-organized by repulsive forces in a hexagonal crystal-like network. Increasing areal density leads to a dramatic collapse of the structure where magnets finally stick together...
