The Soret effect describes diffusive motion that originates from a temperature gradient. It is
observed in mixtures of gases, liquids and even solids. Although there is a formal …

This review collects and describes experiments that employ colloidal suspensions to probe
physics in ordered and disordered solids and related complex fluids. The unifying feature of …

With rising popularity of microscale thermophoresis for the characterisation of protein-ligand
binding reactions and possible applications in microfluidic devices, there is a growing …

We study the Soret effect of charged polystyrene particles as a function of temperature and
electrolyte composition. As a main result we find that the Soret coefficient is determined by …

Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on
either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon is known as thermophoresis, and its …

Dielectric relaxation behaviors of three types of thermally sensitive poly (N-
isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) microgels with different cross-linking density distributions …

By combining controlled experiments on single interfaces with measurements on solitary
bubbles and liquid foams, we show that poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) microgels …

A number of colloidal systems, including polymers, proteins, micelles and hard spheres,
have been studied in thermal gradients to observe and characterize their driven motion …

Temperature gradient-induced migration of biomolecules, known as thermophoresis or
thermodiffusion, changes upon ligand binding. In recent years, this effect has been used to …

Linearised fluctuating hydrodynamics describes effectively the concentration non-
equilibrium fluctuations (NEF) arising during a diffusion process driven by a small …
