Light-activated self-propelled colloids.
Light-activated self-propelled colloids are synthesized and their active motion is studied using optical microscopy. We propose a versatile route using different photoactive materials, and demonstrate a multiwavelength activation and propulsion. Thanks to the photoelectrochemical properties of two semiconductor materials (α-Fe2O3 and TiO2), a light with an energy higher than the bandgap trigger...
متن کاملSelf - propelled particles driven by light
In dieser Arbeit untersuche ich die wesentlichen Eigen-schaften biologischer und künstlicher aktiver Systeme undstelle eine neue Technik zur Herstellung von selbstgetriebe-nen mikroskopischen Kolloiden vor. Um den Antrieb zuerhalten nutzen wir phoretische Kräfte, welche ins Spielkommen, wenn ein Janus-Teilchen seine Umgebung asym-metrisch verändert. Erheblicher experimen...
متن کاملSelf-propelled Leidenfrost droplets.
We report that liquids perform self-propelled motion when they are placed in contact with hot surfaces with asymmetric (ratchetlike) topology. The pumping effect is observed when the liquid is in the Leidenfrost regime (the film-boiling regime), for many liquids and over a wide temperature range. We propose that liquid motion is driven by a viscous force exerted by vapor flow between the solid ...
متن کاملSelf-regulation in self-propelled nematic fluids.
We consider the hydrodynamic theory of an active fluid of self-propelled particles with nematic aligning interactions. This class of materials has polar symmetry at the microscopic level, but forms macrostates of nematic symmetry. We highlight three key features of the dynamics. First, as in polar active fluids, the control parameter for the order-disorder transition, namely the density, is dyn...
متن کاملSelf - propelled film - boiling liquids
We report that liquids perform self-propelled motion when they are placed in contact with hot surfaces with asymmetric (ratchet-like) topology. The pumping effect is observed when the liquid is in the film-boiling regime, for many liquids and over a wide temperature range. We propose that liquid motion is driven by a viscous force exerted by vapor flow between the solid and the liquid.
