Zusammenfassung:Thermal diffusion of a dilute solution of charged silica colloidal particles (Ludox) is studied by a holographic grating technique. The Soret coefficient of the charged colloids is measured as a function of the Debye screening length and the surface charge density of the colloids. The latter is varied by means of variation of the pH. The experimental Soret coefficients are compared with several theoretical predictions. The surface charge density is independently obtained from electrophoresis measurements, the size of the colloidal particles is obtained from electron microscopy, and the Debye length is calculated from ion concentrations. The only adjustable parameter in the comparison with theory is therefore the intercept at zero Debye length, which measures the contribution to the Soret coefficient of the solvation layer and possibly the colloid core material
