Abstract :
We demonstrate a fabrication process based on electrokinetic forces that enables dynamically controlled placement of nanoparticles into a predefined pattern. Simulations of the nanoparticle´s motion validated our approach as confirmed by experimental demonstration to produce uniform spherical nanoparticle array.
