Numerical Investigation of DC Dielectrophoretic Deformable Particle–Particle Interactions and Assembly

In a non-uniform electric field, the surface charge of the deformable particle is polarized, resulting in the dielectrophoretic force acting on the surface of the particle, which causes the electrophoresis. Due to dielectrophoretic force, the two deformable particles approach each other, and distort...
