Rotational and Translational Dynamics of Silver and Titanium Dioxide Nanowires Suspended in Dielectric Media in Electric Fields, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Moshfegh, Alireza (Supervisor) ; Esfandiar, Ali (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Wide utilization of nanomanipulation as a promising approach in microorganisms, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and assembly of nanostructures remarks the importance of nanostructures’ motion in electric fields. Despite of many reports on manipulation and assembly of nanowires (NWs) in non-uniform and alternating electric fields by dielectrophoresis, and also rotation of NWs in rotating electric fields, there is still a lack of knowledge on rotational and translational dynamics of metallic and dielectric NWs in uniform static electric fields. In this dissertation, we study the dynamics of silver (Ag) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) NWs, with diameters and lengths in the range of 40 to 100...
