Simulation of Electric Field for Carbon Nanotube Assembly by Dielectrophoresis

Abstract:

In the process of carbon nanotube assembly by dielectrophoresis, the geometry and spacing of electrodes are significantly affecting the assembly precision. In the simulation process, we showed the geometrical shape of conical, round and rectangular electrode and compared the electric field distribution with these electrodes. Compared with single electrode pairs, comb electrodes can achieve high-yield manipulation. Simulation results show that when the distance between adjacent electrode pairs is larger than twice electrode width, it will avoid electric field superimposition. A method of using floating metal posts within the electrode gap can realize precise positioning of assembled carbon nanotubes.
