Comparison of Different Preparation Techniques of Thermophoretic Swimmers and Their Propulsion Velocity

The motion of partly gold (Au)-coated Janus particles under laser irradiation is caused by self-thermophoresis. Despite numerous studies addressing this topic, the impact of the preparation method and the degree of coverage of the particle with Au on the resulting thermophoretic velocity has not yet...

520 |a The motion of partly gold (Au)-coated Janus particles under laser irradiation is caused by self-thermophoresis. Despite numerous studies addressing this topic, the impact of the preparation method and the degree of coverage of the particle with Au on the resulting thermophoretic velocity has not yet been fully understood. A detailed understanding of the most important tuning parameters during the preparation process is crucial to design Janus particles that are optimized for Au coverage to receive a high thermophoretic velocity. In this study, we explore the influence of the fabrication process, which changes the Au cap size, on the resulting self-propulsion behavior of partly Au-coated polystyrene particles (Au-PS). Additionally, the impact of an underlying adhesion chromium layer is investigated. In addition to the most commonly used qualitative SEM and EDX measurements, we propose a novel and fast technique utilizing AFM studies to quantify the cap size. This non-invasive technique can be used to determine both the size and the maximum thickness of the Au cap. The Au cap size was systematically varied in a range between about 36 and 74% by different preparation strategies. Nevertheless, we showed that the differing Au cap sizes of the Janus particles in this range have no obvious effect on the thermophoretic velocity. This is a surprising result since one would expect an effect of the Au cap size due to different solvent flows around the Janus particles and is attributed to an additional torque near the surface of the measuring cell
