Response of Nonspherical Biological Particles to Alternating Electric Fields

M. Saito, H. P. Schwan and G. Schwarz

ABSTRACT

The stable orientation evoked by an alternating electric field is discussed for biological particles of arbitrary shapes and compositions. Ellipsoidal particles with and without shells are treated as special cases. It is shown that as the frequency of the electric field changes there may be sudden jumps in the stable direction as well as gradual changes.
