Abstract
Binding particles to an interface between immiscible liquids to reduce interfacial tension underpins the emulsification and phase behaviour of composite liquid systems. Nevertheless, we found that the strong binding and two-dimensional assembly of ferromagnetic particles at a liquid–liquid interface not only suppresses emulsification but also increases interfacial tension. Consequently, the particle-stabilized interface in a cylindrical vessel rapidly and reproducibly adopts the shape of a Grecian urn after vigorous agitation. The suppression of emulsification, the rapid formation of a stable, non-planar equilibrium interface shape and the increase in interfacial tension all originate from attractive in-plane dipolar magnetic interactions between the particles.
期刊介绍：
Nature Physics is dedicated to publishing top-tier original research in physics with a fair and rigorous review process. It provides high visibility and access to a broad readership, maintaining high standards in copy editing and production, ensuring rapid publication, and maintaining independence from academic societies and other vested interests.
The journal presents two main research paper formats: Letters and Articles. Alongside primary research, Nature Physics serves as a central source for valuable information within the physics community through Review Articles, News & Views, Research Highlights covering crucial developments across the physics literature, Commentaries, Book Reviews, and Correspondence.
