Light-induced diffusioosmotic flows can be used to manipulate and structure particle assemblies at the solid liquid interface.[1] The main player is an azobenzene containing cationic surfactant. Azobenzene switches from a trans to a cis state under UV and back under visible light or by thermal relaxation. A particle-surfactant dispersion is pipetted onto a substrate and placed under a microscope, in which two lasers (UV, green) are coupled. Surfactant adsorbs to the surface, depending on isomer and surface properties, and creates an electrical double layer(EDL). Local irradiation induces a gradient in surfactant concentration creating a diffusioosmotic flow in the EDL, which drags particles on the surface either away (UV) or to (green) the laser spot, with velocities around 1µm/s. With these flows we clean, gather, and structure particles assemblies on flat surfaces or direct particles along patterned surfaces.[1]Feldmann, D. et al. Sci.
