Numerical simulation of dielectrophoretic ratchet structures
Asymmetrical periodic (" ratchet ") potential energy structures have a number of applications, including the dielectrophoretic rectification of Brownian motion, the implementation of quantum tunnelling devices, and as a model of the action of molecular motors such as muscles. The effectiveness of such devices is dependent on the asymmetry of the potential energy, not that of the potential energ...
متن کاملMicromachined Linear Brownian Motor: Transportation of Nanobeads by Brownian Motion Using Three-Phase Dielectrophoretic Ratchet
Nanosystems operating in liquid media may suffer from random Brownian motion due to thermal fluctuations. Biomolecular motors exploit these random fluctuations to generate a controllable directed movement. Inspired by nature, we proposed and realized a nano-system based on Brownian motion of nanobeads for linear transport in microfluidic channels. The channels limit the degree-of-freedom of the...
متن کاملHigh-throughput positive-dielectrophoretic bioparticle microconcentrator.
We introduce a new dielectrophoretic particle microconcentrator that combines interdigitated electrodes with a chaotic mixer to achieve high-throughput (>100 microL/min) particle concentration. The interdigitated electrodes use positive dielectrophoresis to attract particles to the surface, while the chaotic mixer circulates the particles to increase the number brought in proximity with the sur...
متن کاملEfficiency of the SQUID ratchet driven by external current
We study theoretically the efficiency of an asymmetric superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)which is constructed as a loopwith three capacitively and resistively shunted Josephson junctions. Two junctions are placed in series in one arm and the remaining one is located in the other arm. The SQUID is threaded by an externalmagnetic flux and driven by an external current of both con...
متن کاملEfficiency at maximum power of a discrete feedback ratchet.
Efficiency at maximum power is found to be of the same order for a feedback ratchet and for its open-loop counterpart. However, feedback increases the output power up to a factor of five. This increase in output power is due to the increase in energy input and the effective entropy reduction obtained as a consequence of feedback. Optimal efficiency at maximum power is reached for time intervals...
