图形化磁性基底上胶体输运的计算机模拟

Computer simulations of colloidal transport on a patterned magnetic substrate

Andrea Fortini, Matthias Schmidt

摘要:

我们用动力学蒙特卡罗和布朗动力学计算机模拟研究了顺磁性胶体粒子在图案化磁性基底上的输运。平面衬底用平行或Z字形条纹布置的点偶极子装饰,并暴露于随时间振荡的附加外部磁场。对于平行条纹的情况,我们发现粒子电流的大小和方向是由外部磁场的倾斜角控制的。在温度和磁导率之间的比率的宽范围内可靠地获得效果。只有当外场的振荡周期大于一个临界值时,才能实现粒子的输运。对于锯齿形条纹的情况下,使用垂直于衬底的振荡外部场获得电流。在这种情况下,只能在锯齿形的顶点进行传输,从而产生狭窄的颗粒流。粒子电流的大小和方向被发现是由锯齿角和从基板的胶体的距离的组合控制。大都会蒙特卡罗和布朗动力学模拟预测的结果是在良好的协议彼此。使用动力学蒙特卡罗,我们发现,在高密度的粒子输运受阻的干扰。

英文摘要:

We study the transport of paramagnetic colloidal particles on a patterned magnetic substrate with kinetic Monte Carlo and Brownian dynamics computer simulations. The planar substrate is decorated with point dipoles in either parallel or zigzag stripe arrangements and exposed to an additional external magnetic field that oscillates in time. For the case of parallel stripes we find that the magnitude and direction of the particle current is controlled by the tilt angle of the external magnetic field. The effect is reliably obtained in a wide range of ratios between temperature and magnetic permeability. Particle transport is achieved only when the period of oscillation of the external field is greater than a critical value. For the case of zigzag stripes a current is obtained using an oscillating external field normal to the substrate. In this case, transport is only possible in the vertex of the zigzag, giving rise to a narrow stream of particles. The magnitude and direction of the particle current are found to be controlled by a combination of the zigzag angle and the distance of the colloids from the substrate. Metropolis Monte Carlo and Brownian dynamics simulations predict results that are in good agreement with each other. Using kinetic Monte Carlo we find that at high density the particle transport is hindered by jamming.
