چکیده

We investigate amplification of thermophoretic and ponderomotive forces caused by renormalization of static fields in linear clusters of particles with scale separation. We found analytically the dependence of the forces acting on the particles in a cluster as a function of the number of particles in a cluster and material characteristics of the particles and the surrounding fluid. We analytically determined the velocity of stationary motion of particles, velocity distribution in a surrounding viscous fluid, and the thermophoretic force when the particles remain stationary due to the applied constraint forces.

Thermophoretic force and velocity of nanoparticles in the free molecule regime.

We extend our previous gas-kinetic theory analysis of drag force in a uniform temperature field [Li and Wang, Phys. Rev. E. 68, 061206 (2003); 68, 061207 (2003)] to particle transport in fluids with nonuniform temperature. Formulations for drag and thermophoretic forces are proposed for nanoparticle transport in low-density gases. We specifically consider the influence of nonrigid body collisio...

Suppressing rotational diffusion of Janus particles by surface modifications for directed thermophoretic motion

Here, the influence of various surface modifications on self-propelled motion of laser-heated goldcapped Janus particles is investigated. Wide-field laser heating of the gold hemisphere induces an asymmetric temperature profile around the particles resulting in thermophoretic self-propulsion [1]. Besides the desired directed translational motion also rotational diffusion of the Janus particles ...

Direct measurement of thermophoretic forces.

We study the thermophoretic motion of a micron sized single colloidal particle in front of a flat wall by evanescent light scattering. To quantify thermophoretic effects we analyse the nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) of the particle in a constant temperature gradient perpendicular to the confining walls. We propose to determine thermophoretic forces from a "generalized potential" associated ...

Magnetoelectric Ponderomotive Force

The dynamics of a system consisting of a matter continuum with a weak linear magnetoelectric coupling interacting with electromagnetic fields is examined on a local scale in a nonrelativistic limit. A consistent expression for the internal energy of the system is derived. The internal energy density and the continuity equation for the momentum lead to the derivation of ponderomotive forces. A n...

Information-Theoretic Determination of Ponderomotive Forces

Abstract From the equilibrium condition δS = 0 applied to an isolated thermodynamic system of electrically charged particles and the fundamental equation of thermodynamics (dU = TdS − (f · dr)) subject to a new procedure, it is obtained the Lorentz’s force together with non-inertial terms of mechanical nature. Other well known ponderomotive forces, like the Stern-Gerlach’s force and a force ter...
