Induced-charge electro-osmosis around metal and Janus spheres in water: Patterns of flow and breaking symmetries
Chenhui Peng, Israel Lazo, Sergij V. Shiyanovskii +1
We establish experimentally the flow patterns of induced-charge electro-osmosis (ICEO) around immobilized metallic spheres in aqueous electrolyte. The AC field modifies local elect…
Liquid crystal-enabled electroosmosis through spatial charge separation in distorted regions as a novel mechanism of electrokinetics
Israel Lazo, Chenhui Peng, Jie Xiang +2
Electrically-controlled dynamics of fluids and particles at microscales is a fascinating area of research with applications ranging from microfluidics and sensing to sorting of bio…
Liquid crystal-enabled electrophoresis of spheres in a nematic medium with negative dielectric anisotropy
Israel Lazo, Oleg D. Lavrentovich
We describe electrophoresis of spherical dielectric particles in a uniformly aligned nematic medium with a negative dielectric anisotropy. A spherical particle that orients the liq…
Nonlinear electrophoresis of dielectric and metal spheres in a nematic liquid crystal
Oleg D. Lavrentovich, Israel Lazo, Oleg P. Pishnyak
Electrophoresis is a motion of charged dispersed particles relative to a fluid in a uniform electric field. The effect is widely used to separate macromolecules, to assemble colloi…
