Actuation of Janus Emulsion Droplets via Optothermally Induced Marangoni Forces

Actuation of Janus Emulsion Droplets via Optothermally Induced Marangoni Forces

Microscale Janus emulsions represent a versatile material platform for dynamic refractive, reflective, and light-emitting optical components. Here, we present a mechanism for droplet actuation that exploits thermocapillarity. Using optically induced thermal gradients, an interfacial tension differen...
