Recently, we have demonstrated an optically induced AC electrokinetic technique that rapidly, continuously and selectively concentrates colloids on an electrode surface [1–3]. This is demonstrated with a highly focused near-infrared (1,064 nm) laser beam applied to parallel plate electrodes separated by 50 μm without any additional surface modification or patterning of the electrodes. This dynamic optically-induced technique can be applied towards a variety of lab-on-a-chip applications. This paper will explain its physical mechanisms and showcase recent results regarding its particle sorting capabilities. This dynamic, optically induced fluid and particle manipulation technique could be used for a variety of lab-on-a-chip applications.

Ni - Co / SiC nano-composites were prepared by electrodeposition in modified watts bath. The average size of SiC particles was 50 nm. In this study the effect of nano-particle incorporation, Co 2+ and saccharin concentration in electroplating bath on morphology and mechanical properties of Ni - Co / SiC nano-composites were investigated. The electrodeposits were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Vickers micro-hardness and tensile tests. The results indicate that an increase in Co 2+ and saccharin concentration in electrolyte lead to a decrease in size of SiC agglomerates and grain size refining of matrix and improvement in mechanical properties. The hardness, tensile and yield strengths of the nano-composite material with nano-structure matrixes were higher than those for microcrystalline ones.
