For example, for a spherical particle of radius r with a permittivity constant ofεp in a host medium with the permittivity ofε m, the dielectrophoretic force is given by (1): where r is the particle radius, ω is the angular frequency and Erms is the root mean square electric field. K is the Clausius-Mossotti function, which depends on the complex permittivity of the spherical particle and the medium [1].IEEE.EnglishAngular frequenciesComplex permittivityDielectrophoresisDielectrophoretic forcesElectrical characterizationHigh fieldHost mediumsNano-gapNanowire devicesNonuniform fieldOn chipsPermittivity constantPolarized particlesRoot Mean squareSpherical particleDielectric devicesElectric fieldsElectrophoresisPermittivityConference Paper10.1109/LEOS.2009.5343282
