Micro-/nanofluidic particle separation mechanisms depend on various physical fields that
are applied to the fluid flow and/or particles. These external fields have been widely used for …

In this mini-review, recent advances on the role of a focused laser in micro-and nanofluidic
systems is widely introduced with special interest in thermo-fluid dynamical aspects and …

Hypothesis Particle transport by a temperature gradient is prospective in many biomedical
applications. However, the prevalence of boundary confinement in practical use introduces …

Optical tweezers are powerful tools to trap, transport, and analyse individual nano-objects at
dilute concentrations. However, it is still challenging to manipulate isolated single nano …

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the development of micron-scale
devices utilizing thermal gradients to manipulate molecules and colloids, and to measure …

A temperature gradient in a continuous fluid induces the motion of dispersed micro-and
nanoparticles even when the fluid is motionless. This phenomenon is known as …

An optical system combining phase-shifting interferometry (PSI) and particle image
velocimetry (PIV) is built and verified with simultaneous two-dimensional temperature-and …

We experimentally and theoretically characterize dielectric nano-and microparticle orbital
motion induced by an optical vortex of the Laguerre–Gaussian beam. The key to stable …

In this paper, we introduce the phenomenon of light driven diffusioosmotic long-range
attraction and repulsion of porous particles under irradiation with UV light. The change in the …

Optical trapping and manipulation techniques have attracted significant attention in various
research fields. Optical forces divided into two terms, such as a scattering force and gradient …
