Opto-thermophoretic assembly of colloidal matter
Colloidal matter exhibits unique collective behaviors beyond what occurs at single-nanoparticle and atomic scales. Treating colloidal particles as building blocks, researchers are exploiting new strategies to rationally organize colloidal particles into complex structures for new functions and devices. Despite tremendous progress in directed assembly and self-assembly, a truly versatile assembl...
متن کاملTrapping of DNA by thermophoretic depletion and convection.
Thermophoresis depletes DNA from a heated spot. We quantify for the first time the thermal diffusion constant D(T)=0.4x10(-8) cm(2)/s K for DNA, using fluorescent dyes and laser heating. For 5 kB DNA we extrapolate a 1000-fold depletion from a temperature difference of 50 K. Surprisingly, convection generated by the same heating can turn the depletion into trapping of DNA. Trapped DNA can form ...
متن کاملGold nanostructure assisted thermophoretic trapping of single nano-objects
The manipulation and trapping of nano-objects that undergo Brownian motion are of great interest in soft-matter sciences. Optical tweezing is the most common technique for the trapping of individual particles in solution and is based on the optical gradient force. Hence, a sufficiently high polarizability of the particle in the solution is required. While it is thus easy to trap single dielectr...
متن کاملOpto-Microfluidic Immunosensors: From Colorimetric to Plasmonic
Optical detection has long been the most popular technique in immunosensing. Recent developments in the synthesis of luminescent probes and the fabrication of novel nanostructures enable more sensitive and efficient optical detection, which can be miniaturized and integrated with microfluidics to realize compact lab-on-a-chip immunosensors. These immunosensors are portable, economical and autom...
متن کاملA Personal, Thermophoretic Sampler for Airborne Nanoparticles
HEPA Filter Critical Flow Orifice A personal, thermophoretic particle sampler was designed to collect airborne nanoparticles in the breathing zone of exposed workers. The thermal precipitator captures aerosol by creating a 1000 ̊C/cm temperature gradient between two aluminum plates (0.1 cm separation distance) using a resistive heater, a thermoelectric cooler, a temperature controller, and two t...
