| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated optical manipulation of liquid crystalline inorganic nanosheets to obtain hierarchical and local structures in a colloidal system. Laser irradiation to colloidal niobate nanosheets aligned them in the direction of the incident laser beam. At the focal point, the nanosheet orientation depended on the polarization direction of the laser beam. In contrast, a giant tree-ring-like nanosheet texture of more than 100 micrometers, and which is independent of the polarization direction, was organized at the periphery of the focal point. While the alignment at the focal point was common to both liquid crystalline and isotropic nanosheets, the tree-ring-like structure was observed only for the liquid crystalline samples. The latter organization resulted from a cooperative effect between the liquid-crystalline nanosheets, which indicates an effectiveness of optical manipulation to construct hierarchical colloidal structures with the aid of interparticle interactions.
