Experimental Realization of a Colloidal Ratchet Effect in a non-Newtonian Fluid

|
By Guillermo Camacho, Alejandro Rodriguez-Barroso, Oscar Martinez-Cano, Jose R. Morillas
| Physical Review B
Abstract Shear thinning fluids represent a class of non-Newtonian media characterized by a decrease of the apparent viscosity when increasing the shear rate. Here we experimentally demonstrate a deterministic ratchet effect in such media that enables directed transport of microscopic particles under a square-wave magnetic force. The applied modulation is designed in such a way that it does not produce any average speed when the particles are dispersed in a Newtonian fluid (e.g., water).
