In particular, we consider coated oblate spheroidal particles and present a theoreticalstudy of ER based on the spectral representation theory. Analytic expressions for the characteristic frequency as wellas the dispersion strength can be obtained, thus simplifying the fitting of experimental data on oblate spheroidal cellsthat abound in the literature. From the theoretical analysis, we find that the cellshape, coating as well as materialparameters can change the ER spectrum. We demonstrate a good agreement between our theoretical predictions andexperimental data on human erthrocytes suspensions.展开更多

In this paper, an ordered particle array formation process is analyzed theoretically, employing material flux balance and parti- cle-subjected forces balance, based on the film thickness model of spin coating and evaporation rate law. A series of experi- ments were conducted using silica particle suspensions with various particle volume fractions and different spin speeds. The results show that the spin speed should match the particle volume fraction to meet the requirements of material flux and particles movement in order to obtain a close packed monolayer film. The formation mechanism of fabrication defects involving particle agglomeration and uncontrollable voids were analyzed qualitatively based on crystal growth theory, and validation experiments were performed. The formation of highly uniform close-packed monolayer films was demonstrated and the condi- tion requirements for achieving monolayer nanoparticles array with good quality presented.展开更多
