Magnetically driven confined colloids: From enhanced diffusion to bidirectional transport

Inspired by previous experimental results, we use numerical simulations to investigate the collective dynamics of paramagnetic colloidal particles confined between two plates closer than twice the particle diameter and driven by an external precessing magnetic field. We show that, when the field is...
