Abstract

Colloidal magnetophoretic lensing of water suspended micrometer-sized superparamagnetic beads (SPBs) above a topographically patterned magnetic thin film system with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is demonstrated. The magnetic pattern consisting of concentric annuli of micron-sized widths has been superimposed with a rotating external magnetic field, and it is shown that the trajectories of the SPBs above this structure are similar to light rays in an optical focusing lens. SPB trajectories converge towards the central region and have divergent trajectories while passing the center. The experimental findings are corroborated by a quantitative model for the SPB trajectories. The magnetophoretic lensing effect leads to a high SPB concentration in the center of the pattern and may be useful for applications where SPBs have to approach each other in a controlled way.
