High-temperature thermophoresis using advanced optical microscopies Begining of the project : 01/03/2018End of the project : 28/02/2023 At small spatial scales, temperature fields can induce the rapid motion of molecules or particles, usually from hot to cold. This process, called thermophoresis, has already led to recent and original applications. Nevertheless, […]
