Abstract :
A numerical technique for manipulation of nanoscale ionized and neutral particles in a lab-on-chip environment is discussed. The underlying Laplace solver used for modeling dielectric particle surfaces is coupled with a 3D circuit-electromagnetic field solver in order to predict the forces on the particles under arbitrary circuit excitation.
