Background:

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a technique used for manipulating micro and nano-scale particles using non-uniform electric fields.
Aligning nanorods on electrodes is critical for various nanotechnology applications, but the process is sensitive to electric field parameters.
The impact of frequency modulation on DEP-driven nanorod self-assembly remains insufficiently understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically explore the frequency dependence of silicon nanorod self-alignment using dielectrophoresis in a microfluidic channel.
To identify the optimal frequency for maximizing nanorod alignment yield.
To understand the underlying physical mechanisms influencing nanorod self-assembly under varying electric field frequencies.

Main Methods:

Utilized a microfluidic channel to perform dielectrophoresis experiments.
Systematically varied the applied electric field frequency from 1 kHz to 1000 kHz.
Analyzed nanorod alignment using experimental observations and numerical analysis.

Main Results:

An optimal alignment yield for silicon nanorods was observed at approximately 100 kHz.
Alignment efficiency decreased at frequencies significantly above or below this optimum.
Observed influences of trapping effects, induced electrical double layer, electrohydrodynamic flow, and particle detachment on nanorod self-alignment.

Conclusions:

Frequency modulation of electric fields significantly impacts dielectrophoresis-driven nanorod alignment.
An optimal frequency range exists for maximizing the efficiency of silicon nanorod self-assembly.
These findings provide crucial insights for optimizing dielectrophoresis parameters in nanotechnology applications.
