Interplay of acoustophoresis and dielectrophoresis in a standing surface acoustic wave field: from spherical to non-spherical particles
Standing surface acoustic waves (sSAW) emerged as a flexible tool for precise manipulation of spherical and non-spherical objects in Lab-on-a-Chip devices. While the manipulation of suspended particles and cells in acoustofluidic devices is mostly dominated by acoustic forces due to acoustic scattering and the acoustically induced fluid flow, surface acoustic waves are inherently linked to an inhomogeneous electric field. The superimposed effects of dielectrophoretic forces and torques on polarizable particles are less explored in microfluidics using sSAW. In this study, a thorough analysis of the physical interplay of acoustophoresis and dielectrophoresis aims to bridge this gap. In comprehensive experiments, the dielectrophoretic impact on the behavior of spherical and non-spherical particles is distinguished by screening the electric field of the sSAW inside the micro channel locally. As a result, particles are forced into trapping locations across the entire channel height. However, the height position close to the bottom differs between the screened and non-screened region. Regardless of the shape of the particles used in this study, particles are forced towards the bottom at the region with screening, while being levitated at regions without screening. This indicates clearly the influence of the electric field in close vicinity to the substrate surface. Furthermore, the unintuitive preferred orientation of prolate spheroids perpendicular to the pressure nodes of the sSAW recently reported, is confirmed in both region regardless of the presence of the electric field. Based on a three-dimensional numerical model, this orientation results not only due to the acoustic torque but is also caused by the dielectrophoretic torque, which complement each other. The experimental and numerical findings are in excellent agreement and provide deep insights into the underlying physical mechanisms responsible for patterning and orientation of the particles.
期刊介绍:
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish papers in all aspects of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip science and technology. The objectives of the journal are to (1) provide an overview of the current state of the research and development in microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices, (2) improve the fundamental understanding of microfluidic and nanofluidic phenomena, and (3) discuss applications of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices. Topics covered in this journal include:
1.000 Fundamental principles of micro- and nanoscale phenomena like,
flow, mass transport and reactions
3.000 Theoretical models and numerical simulation with experimental and/or analytical proof
4.000 Novel measurement & characterization technologies
5.000 Devices (actuators and sensors)
6.000 New unit-operations for dedicated microfluidic platforms
7.000 Lab-on-a-Chip applications
8.000 Microfabrication technologies and materials
Please note, Microfluidics and Nanofluidics does not publish manuscripts studying pure microscale heat transfer since there are many journals that cover this field of research (Journal of Heat Transfer, Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, etc.).
