Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods comprising illuminating a first location of an optothermal substrate with electromagnetic radiation, wherein the optothermal substrate converts at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation into thermal energy. The optothermal substrate can be in thermal contact with a liquid sample comprising a plurality of capped particles and a plurality of surfactant micelles, the liquid sample having a first temperature. The methods can further comprise generating a confinement region at a location in the liquid sample proximate to the first location of the optothermal substrate, wherein at least a portion of the confinement region has a second temperature that is greater than the first temperature such that the confinement region is bound by a temperature gradient. The methods can further comprise trapping and depositing at least a portion of the plurality of capped particles.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the optothermal substrate is translocated to illuminate the second location; wherein the electromagnetic radiation is provided by a light source, and the light source is translocated to illuminate the second location; wherein the electromagnetic radiation is provided by a light source, the light source being configured to illuminate a mirror and the mirror is configured to reflect the electromagnetic radiation from the artificial light source to illuminate the optothermal substrate, and the mirror is translocated to illuminate the second location; or a combination thereof.
