An evanescent field technique for colloidal particle dielectrophoresis studies
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) has widely been used to probe the dielectric properties of particles, recently including the manipulation and study of colloidal particles. The ability to discriminate between particles collecting on an electrode against those particles in the bulk solution is required for collection rate measurements. In this paper we demonstrate how evanescent imaging methods can be us...
متن کاملContinuous separation of colloidal particles using dielectrophoresis.
Dielectrophoresis is the movement of particles in nonuniform electric fields and has been of interest for application to manipulation and separation at and below the microscale. This technique has the advantages of being noninvasive, nondestructive, and noncontact, with the movement of particle achieved by means of electric fields generated by miniaturized electrodes and microfluidic systems. A...
متن کاملHighly birefringent colloidal particles for tracer studies
We report on the preparation and characterization of highly birefringent, monodisperse colloidal particles with sizes between 100 nm and some micrometres made by emulsification of a reactive acrylate monomer in aqueous solution. Photopolymerization of the emulsion droplets in the liquid crystalline state results in particles with frozen orientational order. Particles that had not been polymeriz...
متن کاملDielectrophoresis of an inhomogeneous colloidal particle under an inhomogeneous field: a first-principles approach.
In reality, colloidal particles often possess an arbitrary inhomogeneity profile. We present a first-principles approach to dielectrophoresis of such an inhomogeneous colloidal particle under an inhomogeneous field of an oscillating electric dipole moment. For numerical simulations, we treat the inhomogeneous particle as a specific graded one with a physically motivated dielectric model and con...
متن کاملDielectrophoresis of charged colloidal suspensions.
We present a theoretical study of dielectrophoretic (DEP) crossover spectrum of two polarizable particles under the action of a nonuniform ac electric field. For two approaching particles, the mutual polarization interaction yields a change in their respective dipole moments, and hence, in the DEP crossover spectrum. The induced polarization effects are captured by the multiple image method. Us...
