Electrokinetic patterning of colloidal particles with optical landscapes.

چکیده
We demonstrate an opto-electrokinetic technique for non-invasive particle manipulation on the surface of a parallel-plate indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode that is biased with an alternating current (AC) signal and illuminated with near-infrared (1064 nm) optical landscapes. This technique can generate strong microfluidic vortices at higher AC frequencies (>100 kHz) and dynamically and rapidly aggregate and pattern particle groups at low frequencies (<100 kHz).

متن کاملSelf-assembly of colloidal particles in deformation landscapes of electrically driven layer undulations in cholesteric liquid crystals.
We study elastic interactions between colloidal particles and deformation landscapes of undulations in a cholesteric liquid crystal under an electric field applied normal to cholesteric layers. The onset of undulation instability is influenced by the presence of colloidal inclusions and, in turn, layers' undulations mediate the spatial patterning of particle locations. We find that the bending ...
متن کامل3-D patterning of silicon by laser-initiated, liquid-assisted colloidal (LILAC) lithography.
We report a comprehensive study of laser-initiated, liquid-assisted colloidal (LILAC) lithography, and illustrate its utility in patterning silicon substrates. The method combines single shot laser irradiation (frequency doubled Ti-sapphire laser, 50fs pulse duration, 400nm wavelength) and medium-tuned optical near-field effects around arrays of silica colloidal particles to achieve 3-D surface...

The ability to manipulate biological cells and micrometer-scale particles plays an important role in many biological and colloidal science applications. However, conventional manipulation techniques, such as optical tweezers, electrokinetic forces (electrophoresis, dielectrophoresis (DEP), and traveling-wave dielectrophoresis), magnetic tweezers, acoustic traps, and hydrodynamic flows, cannot a...
متن کاملOptically induced electrokinetic patterning and manipulation of particles
This fluid dynamics video will illustrate an optically induced electrokinetic technique for non-invasive particle manipulation on the surface of a parallel-plate gold/indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode that is illuminated with near-infrared (1064 nm) optical patterns and biased with an alternating current (AC) signal. This technique generates strong microfluidic vortices that is constructively us...
