Flow-driven formation of solid-like microsphere heaps†
We observe the formation of heaps of repulsive microspheres, created by flowing a colloidal microsphere suspension towards a flat-topped ridge placed within a quasi two-dimensional microfluidic channel. This configuration allows for both shear and normal forces on the microspheres in contact with the ridge. The heaps, which are formed against the ridge, are characterized by two distinct phases:...
متن کاملNonlinear elasticity of microsphere heaps.
Thermal fluctuations, geometric exclusion, and external driving all govern the mechanical response of dense particulate suspensions. Here, we measure the stress-strain response of quasi-two-dimensional flow-stabilized microsphere heaps in a regime in which all three effects are present using a microfluidic device. We observe that the elastic modulus and the mean interparticle separation of the ...
متن کاملPattern formation by bacteria-driven flow.
Some marine bacterial species form mucosal layers, called veils, on sulfidic marine sediment. The bacteria attached to this veil actively swim and exert force on the surrounding fluid. The bacteria can break free of the veil and swim, chemotacting back to the veil. Over time the veil forms holes arranged in a hexagonal pattern. Motivated by this system, we present a simplified model to describe...
متن کاملData-Driven Compensation for Flow Cytometry of Solid Tissues
Propidium Iodide is a fluorochrome that is used to measure the DNA content of individual cells, taken from solid tissues, with a flow cytometer. Compensation for spectral cross-over of this fluorochrome still leads to compensation results that are depending on operator experience. We present a data-driven compensation (DDC) algorithm that is designed to automatically compensate combined DNA phe...
متن کاملMicrosphere Formation Using an Excimer Laser
Silicon microspheres 800 nm to 10 m have been formed using an excimer laser. The method described in this paper shows that microspheres can be formed with high yield and free of contamination. Silicon microspheres enable new applications where silica microspheres fall short. Due to their semiconducting properties, new photonic devices can be developed for nano-electro-optical applications. Key...
