ABSTRACT:
A device and method is described for joining two or more small particles to form a composite levitated particle. The size of the particles joined may be in the range 0.1 micrometer to 30 micrometers. The device utilizes a linear quadrupole electrodynamic levitator with storage rings at right angles to the levitating electrodes. The storage rings move the charged particles to desired positions with DC electric fields. Particles with different sign but unequal charge are then joined by means of displacements caused by the DC fields of the storage rings. The initial particles and the final composite particle are retained free of any contact with substrate in the levitating fields of the linear levitator.
