Controlled Movement of SiGe/Si Microtubes in Suspension

ORAL

Abstract

Microtubes are potential vehicles for chemical or drug delivery. By applying electric potentials on specially arranged electrodes, SiGe/Si microtubes suspended in liquids are moved in a controllable fashion to designated positions. Such manipulation mechanism is also applicable to smaller entities such as nanotubes.
