Janus particles (JPs) with engineered magnetic properties show significant potential for controlled motion in fluids by external dynamic magnetic fields [1]. In this work, we introduce an exchange bias (EB) thin film system on spherical non-magnetic particles as functionalized JPs and investigate their motion behaviour when being manipulated by dynamically varying artificial magnetic field landscapes above a topographically flat substrate. Due to the EB an Onion magnetization texture is stabilized within the magnetic cap of the JP [2], which is usually not accessible for micron-sized particles and allows for comparably high transport velocities. Probing the dynamics of the JPs in a microfluidic environment resulted in a superposition of controlled translational and rotational movements, emphasizing their potential use for biomolecular interaction analysis. This holds true not only for one-dimensional, but also two-dimensional translational motion. In addition, we highlight experimental possibilities to address and seperate each motion domain (translation and rotation) individually.
