Two-Dimensional Crystallization of Microspheres by a Coplanar AC Electric Field
Abstract
The particle-field and particle-particle interactions induced by alternating electric fields can be conveniently used for on-chip assembly of colloidal crystals. Two coplanar electrodes with a millimeter-sized gap between them are used here to assemble two-dimensional crystals from suspensions of either latex or silica microspheres. When an AC voltage is applied, the particles accumulate and crystallize on the surface between the electrodes. Light diffraction and microscopic observations demonstrate that the hexagonal crystal is always oriented with one axis along the direction of the field. The particles disassemble when the field is turned off, and the process can be repeated many times. The diffraction patterns from all consecutively formed crystals are identical. This assembly is driven by forces that depend on the electric field gradient, and a model is proposed involving a combination of dielectrophoresis and induced dipole chaining. The organization of large two-dimensional crystals allows characterization of the electrostatic interactions in the particle ensembles. The process can be controlled via the field strength, the frequency, and the viscosity of the liquid media. It could be used to make rudimentary optical switches or to separate mixtures of particles of different sizes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
