Induced-charge Electrophoresis of Metallo-dielectric Particles
arXiv:0708.2417 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.058302
Abstract
The application of AC electric fields in aqueous suspensions of anisotropic particles leads to unbalanced liquid flows and nonlinear, induced-charge electrophoretic (ICEP) motion. We report experimental observations of the motion of "Janus" microparticles with one dielectric and one metal-coated hemisphere induced by uniform fields of frequency 100 Hz - 10 kHz in NaCl solutions. The motion is perpendicular to the field axis and persists after particles are attracted to a glass wall. This phenomenon may find applications in microactuators, microsensors, and microfluidic devices.
