  We investigate a two-dimensional system of magnetic colloids with anisotropic
geometry (rods) subjected to an oscillating external magnetic field. The
structural and dynamical properties of the steady states are analyzed, by means
of Langevin Dynamics simulations, as a function of the misalignment of the
intrinsic magnetic dipole moment of the rods with respect to their axial
direction, and also in terms of the strength and rotation frequency of an
external magnetic field. The misalignment of the dipole relative to their axial
direction is inspired by recent studies, and this is extremely relevant in the
microscopic aggregation states of the system. The dynamical response of the
magnetic rods to the external magnetic field is strongly affected by such a
misalignment. Concerning the synchronization between the magnetic rods and the
direction of the external magnetic field, we define three distinct regimes of
synchronization. A set of steady states diagrams are presented, showing the
magnitude and rotation frequency intervals in which the distinct self-organized
structures are observed.
