چکیده
A fundamental electrokinetic phenomenon is the electro-osmotic flow of a liquid electrolyte (solution of positive and negative ions) past a charged surface in response to a tangential electric field. Electrophoresis is the related phenomenon of motion of a colloidal particle or molecule in a background electric field, propelled by electro-osmotic flow in the opposite direction. The basic physics is as follows:

ac Electrokinetic phenomena over semiconductive surfaces: effective electric boundary conditions and their applications.
Electrokinetic boundary conditions are derived for ac electrokinetic phenomena over leaky dielectric (i.e., semiconducting) surfaces. Such boundary conditions correlate the electric potentials across a semiconductor-electrolyte interface (consisting of an electric double layer inside the electrolyte solution and a space charge layer inside the semiconductor) in an ac electric field with arbitra...
متن کاملEffects of electrostatic correlations on electrokinetic phenomena.
The classical theory of electrokinetic phenomena is based on the mean-field approximation that the electric field acting on an individual ion is self-consistently determined by the local mean charge density. This paper considers situations, such as concentrated electrolytes, multivalent electrolytes, or solvent-free ionic liquids, where the mean-field approximation breaks down. A fourth-order m...
متن کاملNonlinear Electrokinetic Transport Under Combined ac and dc Fields in Micro/ Nanofluidic Interface Devices
The integration of micro/nanofluidic devices led to many interesting phenomena and one of the most important and complex phenomenon among them is concentration polarization. In this paper, we report new physical insights in micro/nanofluidic interface devices on the application of ac and dc electric fields. By performing detailed numerical simulations based on the coupled Poisson, Nernst–Planck...
متن کاملTowards an understanding of induced-charge electrokinetics at large applied voltages in concentrated solutions.
The venerable theory of electrokinetic phenomena rests on the hypothesis of a dilute solution of point-like ions in quasi-equilibrium with a weakly charged surface, whose potential relative to the bulk is of order the thermal voltage (kT/e approximately 25 mV at room temperature). In nonlinear electrokinetic phenomena, such as AC or induced-charge electro-osmosis (ACEO, ICEO) and induced-charge...
متن کاملA multi-scale model for electrokinetic transport in networks of micro-scale and nano-scale pores
We present an efficient and robust numerical model for simulation of electrokinetic phenomena in porous networks over a wide range of applications including energy conversion, desalination, and lab-on-a-chip systems. Coupling between fluid flow and ion transport in these networks is governed by the PoissonNernst-Planck-Stokes equations. These equations describe a wide range of transport phenome...
