Laser-Induced Motion of a Nanofluid in a Micro-Channel

Laser-Induced Motion of a Nanofluid in a Micro-Channel

Since a photon carries both energy and momentum, when it interacts with a particle, photon-particle energy and momentum transfer occur, resulting in mechanical forces acting on the particle. In this paper we report our theoretical study on the use of a laser beam to manipulate and control the flow o...
