Micro–patterning of polymer microgels in the balance of a thermal force and a plasmon–enhanced optical force

Abstract

We investigated plasmonic optical trapping (POT) of thermoresponsive polymer microgels labelled with a fluorescent probe. Upon plasmon excitation, the trapped microgels formed characteristic micro-patterns. The trapping behavior is caused by coupling of four physical phenomena; the plasmon-enhanced optical force, thermal convection, thermophoresis, and volume phase transition of the microgels. We discuss a mechanism of the micro-pattern formation.
