We investigate the equilibrium morphologies of linear and ring-shaped
magnetic filaments made from crosslinked ferromagnetic spherical or ellipsoidal
colloidal particles. Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we calculate the
radius of gyration and total magnetic moment of a single filament at zero field
and different temperatures, analyzing the influence of the particles shape, the
strength of their magnetic moment and the filament length. Our results show
that, among such parameters, the shape of the particles has the strongest
qualitative impact on the equilibrium behavior of the filaments
