Protein Dielectrophoresis with Gradient Array of Conductive Electrodes Sheds New Light on Empirical Theory

Olivier Martin, Siarhei Zavatski

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a versatile tool for the precise microscale manipulation of a broad range of substances. To unleash the full potential of DEP for the manipulation of complex molecular-sized particulates such as proteins requires the development ...

Electrically tunable dipolar interactions between layer-hybridized excitons

Andras Kis, Fedele Tagarelli, Edoardo Lopriore

Transition-metal dichalcogenide bilayers exhibit a rich exciton landscape including layer-hybridized excitons, i.e. excitons which are of partly intra- and interlayer nature. In this work, we study hybrid exciton-exciton interactions in naturally stacked W ...

Atomically engineered interfaces yield extraordinary electrostriction

Paul Muralt, Dragan Damjanovic, Ivano Eligio Castelli, Daesung Park

Electrostriction is a property of dielectric materials whereby an applied electric field induces a mechanical deformation proportional to the square of that field. The magnitude of the effect is usually minuscule (

Sensing of Surface and Bulk Refractive Index Using Magnetophotonic Crystal with Hybrid Magneto-Optical Response

Serguei Sekatski

We propose an all-dielectric magneto-photonic crystal with a hybrid magneto-optical response that allows for the simultaneous measurements of the surface and bulk refractive index of the analyzed substance. The approach is based on two different spectral ...

Influence of Uncertainty of Body Permittivity on Achievable Radiation Efficiency of Implantable Antennas-Stochastic Analysis

Anja Skrivervik, Zvonimir Sipus

Design of medical sensor implants is very challenging due to numerous restrictions in terms of size and biological acceptability. In addition, large absorption and reflection of electromagnetic waves in body tissues significantly degrades the communication ...

Confined dipole and exchange spin waves in a bulk chiral magnet with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Dirk Grundler, Ping Che, Andrea Mucchietto, Helmuth Berger, Jianing Li

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) has an impact on excited spin waves in the chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3 by means of introducing asymmetry in their dispersion relations. The confined eigenmodes of a chiral magnet are hence no longer the conventional s ...

Crystal Field Effect and Electric Field Screening in Multilayer Graphene with and without Twist

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu

We address the intrinsic polarization and screening of an external electric field in a broad range of ordered and twisted configurations of multilayer graphene, using an ab initio approach combining density functional theory and the Wannier function formal ...
