Determination of the Dielectrophoretic Force Induced by the Photovoltaic Effect on Lithium Niobate

The actuation of droplets on a surface is extremely relevant for microfluidic applications. In recent years, various methodologies have been used. A promising solution relies on iron-doped lithium niobate crystals that, when illuminated, generate an evanescent electric field in the surrounding space...
