23	Optically Controlled Manipulation of Single Nano-Objects by Thermal Fields Braun, Marco 07 June 2016 (has links) This dissertation presents and explores a technique to confine and manipulate single and multiple nano-objects in solution by exploiting the thermophoretic interactions with local temperature gradients. The method named thermophoretic trap uses an all-optically controlled heating via plasmonic absorption by a gold nano-structure designed for this purpose. The dissipation of absorbed laser light to thermal energy generates a localized temperature field. The spatial localization of the heat source thereby leads to strong temperature gradients that are used to drive a particle or molecule into a desired direction. The behavior of nano-objects confined by thermal inhomogeneities is explored experimentally as well as theoretically. The monograph treats three major experimental stages of development, which essentially differ in the way the heating laser beam is shaped and controlled. In a first generation, a static heating of an appropriate gold structure is used to induce a steady temperature profile that exhibits a local minimum in which particles can be confined. This simple realization illustrates the working principle best. In a second step, the static heating is replaced. A focused laser beam is used to heat a smaller spatial region. In order to confine a particle, the beam is steered in circles along a circular gold structure. The trapping dynamics are studied in detail and reveal similarities to the well-established Paul trap. The largest part of the thesis is dedicated to the third generation of the trap. While the hardware is identical to the second generation, using the real-time information on the position of the trapped object to heat only particular sites of the gold structure strongly increases the efficiency of the trap compared to the earlier versions. Beyond that, the optical feedback control allows for an active shaping of the effective virtual trapping potential by applying modified feedback rules, including e.g. a double-well or a box-like potential. This transforms the formerly pure trapping device to a versatile technique for micro and nano-fluidic manipulation. The physical and technical contributions to the limits of the method are explored. Finally, the feasibility of trapping single macro-molecules is demonstrated by the confinement of lambda-DNA for extended time periods over which the molecules center-of-mass motion as well as its conformational dynamics can be studied. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/530 ddc:530 Thermophorese, Brownsche Bewegung
24	Translational and rotational diffusion of micrometer-sized solid domains in lipid membranes Petrov, Eugene P., Petrosyan, Rafayel, Schwille, Petra January 2012 (has links) We use simultaneous observation of translational and rotational Brownian motion of domains in lipid membranes to test the hydrodynamics-based theory for the viscous drag on the membrane inclusion. We find that translational and rotational diffusion coefficients of micrometer-sized solid (gel-phase) domains in giant unilamellar vesicles showing fluid–gel phase coexistence are in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions. / Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

25	Stochastic modeling of Brownian and turbulent coagulation Teichmann, Jakob 10 March 2017 (has links) Als Beitrag zu einer verbesserten Filtration von Metallschmelzen werden stochastische Modelle für den essentiellen Mechanismus der Koagulation von Brownschen Partikeln und Partikeln in turbulenten Strömungen entwickelt und untersucht. Formeln für die zeitliche Entwicklung der Partikelkonzentration in diesen Systemen erlauben die Bestimmung von physikalischen Parametern, welche die Koagulation und somit die Filtration begünstigen. Um wichtige Resultate im Zusammenhang mit der traditionellen Herangehensweise für Brownsche Partikel zu berichtigen und zu erweitern, wird ein neuer Ansatz in Form zweier Modelle entwickelt. Für beide werden Formeln für die Partikelkonzentration, auf Basis einer neuartigen Verallgemeinerung der Matérn Hard-Core-Punktprozesse, abgeleitet. Um im Hinblick auf die Koagulationsgleichung der fraktalartigen Gestalt der Agglomerate besser Rechnung zu tragen, wird deren Morphologie anhand zweier neuer Modelle quantifiziert. Die Arbeit wird durch Anwendung der Modelle und numerische Simulationen von Koagulation und Abscheidung in turbulenten Strömungen abgerundet. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/510 ddc:510

28	High performance photonic probes and applications of optical tweezers to molecular motors Jannasch, Anita 23 November 2017 (has links) (PDF) Optical tweezers are a sensitive position and force transducer widely employed in physics and biology. In a focussed laser, forces due to radiation pressure enable to trap and manipulate small dielectric particles used as probes for various experiments. For sensitive biophysical measurements, microspheres are often used as a handle for the molecule of interest. The force range of optical traps well covers the piconewton forces generated by individual biomolecules such as kinesin molecular motors. However, cellular processes are often driven by ensembles of molecular machines generating forces exceeding a nanonewton and thus the capabilities of optical tweezers. In this thesis I focused, fifirst, on extending the force range of optical tweezers by improving the trapping e fficiency of the probes and, second, on applying the optical tweezers technology to understand the mechanics of molecular motors. I designed and fabricated photonically-structured probes: Anti-reflection-coated, high-refractive-index, core-shell particles composed of titania. With these probes, I significantly increased the maximum optical force beyond a nanonewton. These particles open up new research possibilities in both biology and physics, for example, to measure hydrodynamic resonances associated with the colored nature of the noise of Brownian motion. With respect to biophysical applications, I used the optical tweezers to study the mechanics of single kinesin-8. Kinesin-8 has been shown to be a very processive, plus-end directed microtubule depolymerase. The underlying mechanism for the high processivity and how stepping is affected by force is unclear. Therefore, I tracked the motion of yeast (Kip3) and human (Kif18A) kinesin-8s with high precision under varying loads. We found that kinesin-8 is a low-force motor protein, which stalled at loads of only 1 pN. In addition, we discovered a force-induced stick-slip motion, which may be an adaptation for the high processivity. Further improvement in optical tweezers probes and the instrument will broaden the scope of feasible optical trapping experiments in the future.

29	Hot Brownian Motion Rings, Daniel 18 February 2013 (has links) (PDF) The theory of Brownian motion is a cornerstone of modern physics. In this thesis, we introduce a nonequilibrium extension to this theory, namely an effective Markovian theory of the Brownian motion of a heated nanoparticle. This phenomenon belongs to the class of nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) and is characterized by spatially inhomogeneous temperature and viscosity fields extending in the solvent surrounding the nanoparticle. The first chapter provides a pedagogic introduction to the subject and a concise summary of our main results and summarizes their implications for future developments and innovative applications. The derivation of our main results is based on the theory of fluctuating hydrodynamics, which we introduce and extend to NESS conditions, in the second chapter. We derive the effective temperature and the effective friction coefficient for the generalized Langevin equation describing the Brownian motion of a heated nanoparticle. As major results, we find that these parameters obey a generalized Stokes–Einstein relation, and that, to first order in the temperature increment of the particle, the effective temperature is given in terms of a set of universal numbers. In chapters three and four, these basic results are made explicit for various realizations of hot Brownian motion. We show in detail, that different degrees of freedom are governed by distinct effective parameters, and we calculate these for the rotational and translational motion of heated nanobeads and nanorods. Whenever possible, analytic results are provided, and numerically accurate approximation methods are devised otherwise. To test and validate all our theoretical predictions, we present large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of a Lennard-Jones system, in chapter five. These implement a state-of-the-art GPU-powered parallel algorithm, contributed by D. Chakraborty. Further support for our theory comes from recent experimental observations of gold nanobeads and nanorods made in the the groups of F. Cichos and M. Orrit. We introduce the theoretical concept of PhoCS, an innovative technique which puts the selective heating of nanoscopic tracer particles to good use. We conclude in chapter six with some preliminary results about the self-phoretic motion of so-called Janus particles. These two-faced hybrids with a hotter and a cooler side perform a persistent random walk with the persistence only limited by their hot rotational Brownian motion. Such particles could act as versatile laser-controlled nanotransporters or nanomachines, to mention just the most obvious future nanotechnological applications of hot Brownian motion.
