| Research Abstract |
In this research, we performed fundamental study which aimed atformation and control of three-dimensional self-organized structures of colloidal particles in liquid crystal which is an anisotropic liquid. Firstly, we succeeded in the elucidation of the interparticle force in liquid crystal by both the experimental force measurement using an optical tweezers and the force calculated by computer simulation. Furthermore, we also succeeded in acquiring new knowledge about the method of creating one-, two-, and a three-dimensional structure using the optical electric field gradient and local thermal gradient of the optical tweezers.
