| Sumario: | <p id="p1">The induction of acoustic-mechanical oscillations to virus particles by illuminating them with microwave signals is analyzed theoretically. Assuming the virus particle is of spherical shape, its capsid consisting primarily of glycoproteins, a viscous fluid model is adopted while the outside medium of the sphere is taken to be the ideal fluid. The electrical charge distribution of virus particles is assumed to be spherically symmetric with a variation along the radius. The generated acoustic-mechanical oscillations are computed by solving a boundary value problem analytically, making use of Green’s function approach. Resonance conditions to achieve maximum energy transfer from microwave radiation to acoustic oscillation to the particle are investigated. Estimation of the feasibility of the technique to compete with virus epidemics either for sterilization of spaces or for future therapeutic applications is examined briefly.</p> |
