Iterative Dipole Moment Method for the Dielectrophoretic Particle-Particle Interaction in a DC Electric Field

Figure 2

Two particles (red or black dashed line) are initially equispaced on a circle (blue dashed line) with θ₀ = π/2 in a uniform DC electric field with E = 1 kV/m along x direction, and then the final particle chains (solid particles) are, respectively, shown after DEP interaction under different statuses: (a) two negative (black) DEP particle, (b) one positive (red) and one negative DEP particle.
