Hydrodynamic Effect On Low Field Gradient Magnetophoresis Of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles

Two-ways momentum transfer between moving magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and surrounding fluid (which is known as hydrodynamic effect) has been revealed to portray a vital role in low field gradient magnetophoresis conducted under microfluidic system. However, the effect of hydrodynamic on dynamical...
