A Critical Microscopic Engine in an Optical Tweezers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An optically trapped absorbing microsphere in a sub-critical mixture rotates around the optical trap thanks to diffusiophoretic propulsion, which can be controlled by adjusting the optical power, the temperature, and the criticality of the mixture.
