Colloid thermophoresis in aqueous media is vital for numerous applications in nanoscience
and life sciences. To date, a general description of colloid thermophoresis in DI water has …

Migration of colloidal particles induced by temperature gradients is commonly referred to as
thermodiffusion, thermal diffusion, or the (Ludwig-) Soret effect. The thermophoretic force …

We use a hydrodynamic reciprocal approach to phoretic motion to derive general
expressions for the electrophoretic and thermophoretic mobility of weakly charged colloids …

We present a model that relates isotope effects in thermodiffusion to changes in internal
degrees of freedom associated with rotational and vibrational motion. The model uses …

We extend our nonequilibrium thermodynamic model of thermodiffusion in binary systems to
multi-component mixtures. The fundamental parameter is the difference in molecular entropy …

We present a model that explains variance in the thermodiffusion of hydrocarbon isomers in
binary liquid mixtures. The model relies on material transport equations for binary …

We analyze the motion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes clusters in water or ethanol upon
irradiation with a 975 and 1550 nm laser beam guided by an optical fiber. Upon measuring …

We study thermoosmosis as the physical basis for creating a micro-or nanoscale engine. As
a model system, we consider concentric cylinders in which an annular cavity has been …

We propose a nanoparticle trapping approach using a plasmonic nanostructure with
inhomogeneous temperature fields. Results show that the thermal force, together with the …

We analyze a microfluidic pump from the literature that utilizes a flat channel with boundary
walls at different temperatures and tilted elongated pillars within in order to construct an …
