Abstract:Laser beams, capable to control the mechanical motion of micron-scale objects, can serve as a tool, enabling investigations of numerous interaction scenarios under full control. Beyond the pure electromagnetic interactions, giving rise to conventional gradient forces and radiation pressure, environment-induced thermal effects can play a role and, in certain cases, govern the dynamics. Here we demonstrate a thermocapillary Marangoni effect, which is responsible for creating long-range few hundreds of nano-Newto… Show more
