Dynamics of droplets driven by electrowetting
Ke Xiao, Chen-Xu Wu
Even though electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is a useful strategy in a wide array of biological and engineering processes with numerous droplet-manipulation applications, there…
How does an external electric field trigger the Cassie-Baxter-Wenzel wetting transition on a textured surface?
Ke Xiao, Xi Chen, Chen-Xu Wu
Understanding the critical condition and mechanism of the droplet wetting transition between Cassie-Baxter state and Wenzel state triggered by an external electric field is of cons…
Electrostatics in a crooked nanochannel in a newly developed curvilinear coordinate system
Xi Chen, Ke Xiao, Rui Ma +2
Both biological and artificial nanochannels in crooked shape exhibit unusual transportational characteristics, bringing about a challenge to the traditional theoretical analysis of…
Critical condition for electrowetting-induced detachment of a droplet from a curved surface
Ke Xiao, Chen-Xu Wu
Based on energy conservation, we derive a critical condition theoretically for electrowettinginduced droplet detachment from a hydrophobic curved surface. Phase diagrams are constr…
Formation of a fast "lane" for positional transition in a microparticle-suspended nematic liquid crystal cell
Ke Xiao, Xi Chen, Xuezheng Cao +1
In this paper, based on the numerical calculation of total energy utilizing the Green's function method, we found that the external electric field applied to a microparticle-suspen…
Freedericksz-like positional transition of a micro-droplet suspended in a nematic cell
Ke Xiao, Xi Chen, Chen-Xu Wu
In this paper, a Freedericksz-like positional transition is found for a spherical micro-droplet suspended in a nematic liquid crystal cell in the presence of an external electric f…
