Toward the Stable Optical Trapping of a Droplet with Counter Laser Beams under Microgravity
Akihiro Isomura, Nobuyuki Magome, Masahiro I. Kohira +1
To identify the optimum conditions for the optical trapping of a droplet under microgravity, we theoretically analyzed the efficiency of trapping with counter laser beams. We found…
Optical Levitation of a Droplet under Linear Increase of Gravitational Acceleration
Masahiro I. Kohira, Akihiro Isomura, Nobuyuki Magome +2
Optical levitation of a liquid droplet in gas phase was investigated under timedependent change of the gravitational acceleration with specific flight pattern of an airplane. Throu…
Chemo-Sensitive Running Droplet
Yutaka Sumino, Masaharu Nagayama, Hiroyuki Kitahata +4
Chemical control of the spontaneous motion of a reactive oil droplet moving on a glass substrate under an aqueous phase is reported. Experimental results show that the self-motion…
Self Running Droplet: Emergence of Regular Motion from Nonequilibrium Noise
Yutaka Sumino, Nobuyuki Magome, Tsutomu Hamada +1
Spontaneous motion of an oil droplet driven by chemical nonequilibricity is reported. It is shown that the droplet undergoes regular rhythmic motion under appropriately designed bo…
