Transport and selective chaining of bidisperse particles in a travelling wave potential
Pietro Tierno, Arthur V. Straube
We combine experiments, theory and numerical simulation to investigate the dynamics of a binary suspension of paramagnetic colloidal particles dispersed in water and transported ab…
Orientational dynamics of colloidal ribbons self-assembled from microscopic magnetic ellipsoids
Fernando Martinez-Pedrero, Andrejs Cebers, Pietro Tierno
We combine experiments and theory to investigate the orientational dynamics of dipolar ellipsoids, which self-assemble into elongated ribbon-like structures due to the presence in…
Enhanced diffusion and anomalous transport of magnetic colloids driven above a two-state flashing potential
Pietro Tierno, M. Reza Shaebani
We combine experiment and theory to investigate the diffusive and subdiffusive dynamics of paramagnetic colloids driven above a two-state flashing potential. The magnetic potential…
Reconfigurable swarms of colloidal particles electrophoretically drivenin nematic liquid crystals
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
We present experiments where anisometric colloidal microparticles dispersed in a nematic liquid crystal cell with homeotropic anchoring conditions are dynamically assembled by mean…
Nematic Colloidal Swarms Assembled and Transported on Photosensitive Surfaces
Sergi Hernàndez-Navarro, Pietro Tierno, Jordi Ignés-Mullol +1
We demonstrate a novel method to assemble and transport swarms of colloidal particles by combining liquid crystals enabled electrophoresis and photo-sensitive surface patterning. C…
