Interaction of Coupled Particles Based on Lennard-Jones and Spring Forces in Brownian Ratchet Devices

Retkute R., Gleeson J.P., University College Cork, IE

Electrophoresis is a technique used to separate polyelectrolyte strands of different lengths. One of its fields of application in nanotechnology is in the separation of DNA. Chains of particles can undergo net transport on a [...]

Stochastic Analysis of Particle-Pair Transport in Brownian Ratchet Device

Retkute R., Gleeson J.P., University College Cork, IE

The motion of particle pairs in a Brownian ratchet device is studied using Langevin simulations. A Lennard-Jones interaction between the particles is added to a standard spring-bead model. The effects of such interaction upon a [...]
