Simultaneous positioning and orientation of single nano - wires using flow control 3

چکیده
We present a material-property independent method for manipulating both the position and orientation of nanowires (NWs), by feedback control of flows. For example, the NWs need not be electromagnetically polarizable. Control of NWs in a microfluidic device is demonstrated across a 170 mm 6 170 mm region with on-demand trapping, translation, and simultaneous rotation of dielectric, semiconducting, and metallic NWs. An average trapping precision of 0.6 mm in position and 5.4u in orientation is achieved for the NWs considered, making it attractive for sensing and directed assembly applications.

Simultaneous positioning and orientation of a single nano-object by flow control: theory and simulations
In this paper, we theoretically describe a method to simultaneously control both the position and orientation of single nano-objects in fluids by precisely controlling the flow around them. We develop and simulate a control law that uses electro-osmotic flow (EOF) actuation to translate and rotate rigid nano-objects in two spatial dimensions. Using EOF to control nano-objects offers advantages ...

متن کاملExperimental investigation for wake of the circular cylinder by attaching different number of tripping wires
An experimental study is conducted on flow past a circular cylinder fitted with some tripping wires on its surface. The work investigates the dependency of the critical wire locations on the wire size and Reynolds numbers, and examines the wake and vortex shedding characteristics in an effort to advance the understanding of the critical wire effects beyond the existing literature. The primary a...
متن کاملManipulation and confinement of single particles using fluid flow.
High precision control of micro- and nanoscale objects in aqueous media is an essential technology for nanoscience and engineering. Existing methods for particle trapping primarily depend on optical, magnetic, electrokinetic, and acoustic fields. In this work, we report a new hydrodynamic flow based approach that allows for fine-scale manipulation and positioning of single micro- and nanoscale ...
متن کاملElectrochemical Growth of Single-Crystal Metal Nanowires via a Two-Dimensional Nucleation and Growth Mechanism.
Metallic nanowires (Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, Co, and Rh) with an average diameter of 40 nm and a length of 3-5 μm have been fabricated by electrodeposition in the pores of track-etched polycarbonate membranes. Structural characterizations by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction showed that nanowires of Au, Ag, and Cu are single-crystalline with a preferred [111] orientation, w...
