Enhancement of mobility in a feedback controlled 1D colloidal system with repulsive interactions — •Robert Gernert and Sabine H. L. Klapp — Institut für theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Berlin

Feedback control schemes are a promising way to design static and dynamic properties of colloidal suspensions [1]. In the collective transport of colloids through 1D tilted washboard potentials clusters of attractive particles are known to overcome the hindering influence of the potential barriers [2]. Here we consider a corresponding system with repulsive interactions. To enhance the mobility we propose a feedback control scheme and demonstrate its function theoretically. The control is modelled by a symmetrically confining potential, like an optical tweezer, and it is always centered around the mean particle position. For the theoretical demonstration we use Dynamical Density Functional Theory (DDFT) with ultra-soft as well as hard-core particle interactions. For either type of interaction the influence of the hindering washboard potential can be suppressed completely – corresponding to an enhancement of the mobility by several orders of magnitude. Further, in the regime of moderate amplification velocity oscillations are induced.
