Theoretical Simulation on the Assembly of Carbon Nanotubes Between Electrodes by AC Dielectrophoresis
The assembly of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using the AC dielectrophoresis technique is studied theoretically. It is found that the comb electrode bears better position control of SWCNTs compared to the parallel electrode. In the assembly, when some SWCNTs bridge the electrode first, they can greatly alter the local electrical field so as to "screen off" later coming SWCNTs, which c...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes as electrodes for dielectrophoresis of DNA.
Dielectrophoresis can potentially be used as an efficient trapping tool in the fabrication of molecular devices. For nanoscale objects, however, the Brownian motion poses a challenge. We show that the use of carbon nanotube electrodes makes it possible to apply relatively low trapping voltages and still achieve high enough field gradients for trapping nanoscale objects, e.g., single molecules. ...
متن کاملPrecise positioning of single-walled carbon nanotubes by ac dielectrophoresis
The precise placement of single-walled carbon nanotubes SWCNTs in device architectures by ac dielectrophoresis involves the optimization of the electrode geometry, applied voltage and frequency, load resistance, and type of nanotube sample used. The authors have developed a toolkit to controllably integrate SWCNTs in device structures by the use of floating potential metal posts and appropriate...
متن کاملMicroarray Dot Electrodes Utilizing Dielectrophoresis for Cell Characterization
During the last three decades; dielectrophoresis (DEP) has become a vital tool for cell manipulation and characterization due to its non-invasiveness. It is very useful in the trend towards point-of-care systems. Currently, most efforts are focused on using DEP in biomedical applications, such as the spatial manipulation of cells, the selective separation or enrichment of target cells, high-thr...
متن کاملElectrothermal flow in Dielectrophoresis of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
We theoretically investigate the impact of the electrothermal flow on the dielectrophoretic separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). The electrothermal flow is observed to control the motions of semiconducting SWNTs in a sizeable domain near the electrodes under typical experimental conditions, therefore helping the dielectrophoretic force to attract semiconducting SWNTs in a broade...
