Abstract
Acoustic micromanipulation methods offer versatile tools ranging from lab-on-chip diagnostic platforms to mobile microrobots. Acoustically oscillating bubble-powered microsystems are gaining increased attention owing to their low cost and convenient operation. To date, no studies have reported on the controllability of the driving frequency on acoustic micromanipulation platforms using Helmholtz resonators. Here, we introduce a Helmholtz resonant cavity into a bubble-powered microsystem to reveal the function of the oscillation modes and frequency selectivity. The Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model was utilized to construct a topological interfacial state and bubble-powered working location. We experimentally observed that the microparticles were captured by the oscillation bubble and underwent orbital rotation at the topological frequency. However, the microparticles were tightly bound close to the oscillation bubble area when the driving frequency was outside the topological frequency range. Our acoustic micromanipulation platform implements multiple microparticle manipulation modes based on frequency selectivity that are independent of optical or magnetic properties, which can enrich the micromanipulation toolbox and exhibit enormous application potential in the biomedical field.
