Deformation of flexible ferromagnetic filaments under a rotating magnetic field
Research on magnetic particles dispersed in a fluid medium, actuated by a rotating magnetic field, is becoming increasingly active for both lab-on-chip and bio-sensing applications. In this study, we experimentally investigate the behaviour of ferromagnetic filaments in a rotating field. Filaments are synthesized by linking micron-sized ferromagnetic particles with DNA strands. The experiments were conducted under different magnetic field strengths, frequencies and filament sizes, and deformation of the filaments was registered via microscope and camera. The results obtained showed that the body deformation is larger for longer filaments and higher frequencies and lower for larger magnetic …
3D motion of flexible ferromagnetic filaments under a rotating magnetic field.
Ferromagnetic filaments in a rotating magnetic field are studied both numerically and experimentally. The filaments are made from micron-sized ferromagnetic particles linked with DNA strands. It is found that at low frequencies of the rotating field a filament rotates synchronously with the field and beyond a critical frequency it undergoes a transition to a three dimensional regime. In this regime the tips of the filament rotate synchronously with the field on circular trajectories in the plane parallel to the plane of the rotating field. The characteristics of this motion found numerically match the experimental data and allow us to obtain the physical properties of such filaments. We als…
