Optical Nanotrapping Using Illuminated Metallic Nanostructures: Analysis and Applications

Furlani E.P., Baev A., Prasad P.N., University at Buffalo, US

The interest in optical particle manipulation has grown steadily in recent years especially for applications in the biological sciences where the manipulated objects include cells, organelles, and larger molecules. While micron and sub-micron bioparticles can [...]

A Model for Blood Cell Transport and Separation in a Magnetophoretic Microsystem

Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo, US

We present a model for predicting the transport and separation of red and white blood cells in plasma in a magnetophoretic microsystem. The microsystem is passive and consists of an array of integrated soft-magnetic elements [...]

Analytical Model for Magnetic Particle Transport in a Magnetically Biased Microfluidic System

Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo, US

An analytical model is described for predicting the transport and capture of magnetic micro/nano-particles in a magnetophoretic microsystem that consists of an array of integrated soft-magnetic elements embedded beneath a microfluidic channel. The elements are [...]

Analysis of Magnetic Particle Capture in the Microvasculature

Furlani E.P., Ng K.C., Sahoo Y., University at Buffalo, US

An analytical model is described for predicting the capture of therapeutic magnetic nanoparticles in the microvasculature. The particles consist of a magnetic core coated with surface-bound anticancer agents, and are directed to a tumor using [...]

Finite Size Effects In Ferroelectric Nanosystems: Absence of mode softening

Wolpert D., Cox W., Cerne J., Markelz A., Zhao T., Ramesh R., University at Buffalo, US

Ferroelectrics are currently used for DRAM capacitors, nonvolatile memory elements, (FRAM), and switching and routing elements in optical communications systems. Further miniaturization and large scale application of these systems is limited by apparent finite size [...]
