Microscopic mechanism on coalescence of the nano-droplets in present non-uniform electric field by molecular dynamics simulations

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the nano-droplets coalescence process in a non-uniform electric field. Coalescence of droplets driven by dielectrophoresis (DEP) could be observed clearly in a strong electric field. The efficiency of coalescence is remarkably improved abou...
