Nanometer scale resolution, multi-channel separation of spherical particles in a rocking ratchet with increasing barrier heights
Philippe Nicollier, Christian Schwemmer, Francesca Ruggeri +3
We present a nanoparticle size-separation device based on a nanofluidic rocking Brownian motor. It features a ratchet-shaped electrostatic particle potential with increasing barrie…
