| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, manipulation and mixing of small amount of water has been demonstrated by using surface tension of a tiny bubble. By focusing a laser onto a nanostructured thin film, the local temperature of water on the laser spot rises and a bubble is generated. The localized heat generation disproportions the surface tension of the bubble and induces flow around it. By tuning the laser spot position and power, the flow has been controlled to demonstrate particles focusing and flow direction switching in a small fluidic cell. In addition, by eliminating dissolved gasses in water, we successfully demonstrated generation of a tiny water vapor microbubble in the water. The water vapor microbubble involves rapid flow with flow speed of more than 1 m/s. Because the water vapor bubble exists only during the local heating of the water, it is useful as a micro-mixer that is producible and removable in any places and any time in the micrometer-size channel.
