Paradoxical motion of a single Brownian particle: absolute negative mobility.
We consider a single, classical Brownian particle in a spatially symmetric periodic system far from thermal equilibrium, which can be readily realized experimentally. Upon application of an external static force F, the average particle velocity is negative for F>0 and positive for F<0 (absolute negative mobility). The various physical mechanisms responsible for such a paradoxical effect are ide...
متن کاملEntropic electrokinetics: recirculation, particle separation, and negative mobility.
We show that when particles are suspended in an electrolyte confined between corrugated charged surfaces, electrokinetic flows lead to a new set of phenomena such as particle separation, mixing for low-Reynolds micro- and nanometric devices, and negative mobility. Our analysis shows that such phenomena arise, for incompressible fluids, due to the interplay between the electrostatic double layer...
متن کاملAsymmetry in shape causing absolute negative mobility.
We propose a simple classical concept of nanodevices working in an absolute negative mobility (ANM) regime: the minimal spatial asymmetry required for ANM to occur is embedded in the geometry of the transported particle, rather than in the channel design. This allows for a tremendous simplification of device engineering, thus paving the way toward practical implementations of ANM. Operating con...

متن کاملContinuous particle separation through deterministic lateral displacement.
We report on a microfluidic particle-separation device that makes use of the asymmetric bifurcation of laminar flow around obstacles. A particle chooses its path deterministically on the basis of its size. All particles of a given size follow equivalent migration paths, leading to high resolution. The microspheres of 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0 micrometers that were used to characterize the device were s...
