Pumping of water through carbon nanotubes by rotating electric field and rotating magnetic field

Xiao-Peng Li, Gao-Pan Kong, and Xing Zhang et al.

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate pumping of water through a carbon nanotube by applying the combination of a rotating electric field and a rotating magnetic field. The driving force is a Lorentz force generated from the motion of charges in the magnetic field, and the motion is ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 143117 (2013)] published Thu Oct 03, 2013.
