Nanofluidic technology for biomolecule applications: a critical review

M Napoli, JCT Eijkel, S Pennathur - Lab on a Chip, 2010 - pubs.rsc.org
In this review, we present nanofluidic phenomena, particularly as they relate to applications
involving analysis of biomolecules within nanofabricated devices. The relevant length scales …

Single file dynamics in soft materials

A Taloni, O Flomenbom, R Castañeda-Priego… - Soft Matter, 2017 - pubs.rsc.org
The term single file (SF) dynamics refers to the motion of an assembly of particles through a
channel with cross-sections comparable to the particles' diameter. Single file diffusion (SFD) …

Confined 1D propulsion of metallodielectric Janus micromotors on microelectrodes under alternating current electric fields

L Zhang, Z Xiao, X Chen, J Chen, W Wang - ACS nano, 2019 - ACS Publications
There is mounting interest in synthetic microswimmers (“micromotors”) as microrobots as
well as a model system for the study of active matters, and spatial navigation is critical for …

Universal scaling in active single-file dynamics

P Dolai, A Das, A Kundu, C Dasgupta, A Dhar… - Soft Matter, 2020 - pubs.rsc.org
We study the single-file dynamics of three classes of active particles: run-and-tumble
particles, active Brownian particles and active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck particles. At high activity …

Diffusion of colloidal particles in a tilted periodic potential: Theory versus experiment

M Evstigneev, O Zvyagolskaya, S Bleil, R Eichhorn… - Physical Review E …, 2008 - APS
We investigate the diffusion of a colloidal particle in a tilted periodic potential created by
means of ten rotating optical tweezers arranged on a circle. Because of the viscous drag, the …

Coulomb blockade model of permeation and selectivity in biological ion channels

IK Kaufman, PVE McClintock… - New Journal of …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Biological ion channels are protein nanotubes embedded in, and passing through, the
bilipid membranes of cells. Physiologically, they are of crucial importance in that they allow …

Diffusion of finite-sized hard-core interacting particles in a one-dimensional box: tagged particle dynamics

L Lizana, T Ambjörnsson - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2009 - APS
We solve a nonequilibrium statistical-mechanics problem exactly, namely, the single-file
dynamics of N hard-core interacting particles (the particles cannot pass each other) of size Δ …

Using self-driven microswimmers for particle separation

W Yang, VR Misko, K Nelissen, M Kong, FM Peeters - Soft Matter, 2012 - pubs.rsc.org
Microscopic self-propelled swimmers capable of autonomous navigation through complex
environments provide appealing opportunities for localization, pick-up and delivery of micro …

Diffusion of tagged particle in an exclusion process

E Barkai, R Silbey - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2010 - APS
We study the diffusion of tagged hard-core interacting Brownian point particles under the
influence of an external force field in one dimension. Using the Jepsen line we map this …

Transition from single-file to two-dimensional diffusion of interacting particles in a quasi-one-dimensional channel

D Lucena, DV Tkachenko, K Nelissen, VR Misko… - Physical Review E …, 2012 - APS
Diffusive properties of a monodisperse system of interacting particles confined to a quasi-
one-dimensional channel are studied using molecular dynamics simulations. We calculate …
